19.01.2022 Dear parents, PDF Version of Newsletter Tripadvisor advises that the tiny village of Dripsey in Ireland hosts the world's shortest St Patrick's Day procession. It starts and ends at the two village pubs, 100 metres apart. Many Australian Catholics feel culturally like they are a short distance from Ireland.
