St Patrick’s Day

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:41): I wish to wish everybody a very happy St Patrick’s Day – of course St Patrick’s Day was 17 March – and acknowledge that the celebrations continue throughout this week. I thank the archdiocese of Melbourne for the invitation to join in the feast of St Patrick. St Patrick of course is the patron saint of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, and the Patrick oration was delivered by the Most Reverend Peter Comensoli, Archbishop of Melbourne.
