In a fast-moving and unpredictable world, it is good to know there are some certainties upon which we can depend. One of these is St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), an occasion that people of Irish heritage celebrate globally, especially here in the U.S.
This year is particularly special. As the U.S. marks its 250th anniversary, Ireland is proud to be a part of that story: from the Kilkenny native who designed the White House (James Hoban), to the “Father of the American Navy” from Wexford (John Barry), to the printer of the first copies of the Declaration of Independence, Tyrone-born, John Dunlap.
