Spring is in the air
The first day of Spring falls on March
20th
and we will officially be over
winter and feeling ready to enjoy
some warmer days. So shake off the
winter blues, dust off your walking
shoes, spend time with friends and
enjoy the beauty of those first signs of
spring. It’s time to come out of
hibernation!
Spring is a great time for bus outings
and we enjoy our scenic drives. We
often head down to our local beaches
or head out to the country (and
sometimes we get a warm Krispy
Kreme). If you would like to sign up
come and see the Recreation Team.

St. Patrick’s Day. Just Who is St. Patrick?
Source: Wikipedia
The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty, but there is broad agreement that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the fifth century. Nevertheless, as the most recent biography on Patrick shows, a late fourth-century date for the saint is not impossible. Early medieval tradition credits him with being the first bishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, and regards him as the founder of Christianity in Ireland, converting a society practising a form of Celtic polytheism. He has been generally so regarded ever since, despite evidence of some earlier Christian presence in Ireland.
According to the autobiographical Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Britain and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals; he lived there for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as a bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick's Day is observed on 17 March, the supposed date of his death.
Blessings.
