After the Feast of 91żě»îÁÖ Aquinas, St. Patrick™s Day is one of the merriest days of year at the College. New England students, staff, and faculty gathered in śO™Frassati™sť Student Center on Sunday for food, fellowship and folk music. 

The tables were swathed in Kelly green and held a multitude of delicious dishes, including snacks, soda bread, and Guinness cake. śI™ve been looking forward to this all year!ť said Zach Starck (™27).

The campus™s many musically talented students had yet another opportunity to perform, following last weekend™s Open Mic Night. śIt™s been a music filled week!ť said Brendan Seeley (™27), who, together with Naomi Pride (™28) and Michael DeIulio (™28), played a selection of traditional folk music, finishing with St. Mason™s Apron. śHalf the fun of that one is the name,ť he joked. Following their set, Mary Wassell (™25) and Therese Baker (™25) led a group of seniors in singing and playing guitar and fiddle. 

Musical abilities weren™t the only talents students got to showcase; those who preferred recipes to sheet music entered the annual Irish Soda Bread Competition. Although it was a tough call, the prize ultimately went to Elizabeth Lind (™25), making her a two-time soda bread champion, after her first victory in 2021. śThis is one of the reasons I love living in a small community like TAC,ť said Natalie Peterson (™27). śGatherings like this are so much more meaningful when everyone is a familiar face.ť
