The celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Suyapa presented a wonderful opportunity for the Provost to experience the many faces of Saint Patrick on the Hill and to bring together both the Hispanic and English-speaking communities.

Music and dancing from different countries (here dancers from Peru) complimented a lunch of traditional food from Honduras.

The Provost greeted various volunteers from the Hispanic Community including the catechists and many candidates for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
