Dan Cahill in the Irish language with a luncheon to follow at the KofC Hall with a cost is $15; food, coffee and a cash bar. I know March is a busy month for all the Irish affair’s that are happening however; this is an Irish Catholic affair and many do not have the chance to attend Mass in the language of our ancestors.
