We’re a little over a month away from St. Patrick’s Day, but over the weekend, the Diocese of Brooklyn celebrated the patroness of Ireland. Bagpipers led the way as hundreds packed the pews of the Cathedral Basilica of St. James in Downtown Brooklyn for the first-ever diocese-wide celebration of the Feast Day of St. Brigid! Among the other cultural elements included in the Mass, celebrated by Bishop Brennan, were Irish step dancers and a performance of the song St. Brigid of Ireland.
