BOYNTON BEACH – St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary celebrated the wearin’ of the green – and the wearin’ of the red – at the fourth annual Joe-Paddy Festival March 15 on the seminary grounds, 10701 S. Military Trail, Boynton Beach.

The event honors both St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, and St. Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary who is venerated within the Roman Church, and particularly by Italians.  St. Patrick’s Day and St. Joseph’s Day are normally celebrated one day apart.

The meal included corned beef & cabbage as well as vegetable lasagna and baked ziti, with beverages and desert.  The event included Irish and Italian entertainment.
