The church was deeply contemplative, mystical, and monastic, but also socially conscious and active in the needs of its local communities. There was a strong eco …

This group is NOT exclusively for Irish people but some of our get togethers will involve an Irish celebration or the culture. You don't have to be Irish to appreciate the Irish culture and history... or any Irish celebration! My vision is play-dates for children, parent nights out together, and the occasional St. Patricks Day Parade and Irish festival! I'm very open to ideas, if you want to plan a meetup, please feel free.

Scottish Country Dancing is a modern version of eighteenth century European social dancing. If you've ever seen a Virginia Reel, you'll have the basic idea. There are many variations, of course. There are fast dances, jigs and reels, and strathspeys which are slower and more elegant. Anyone is welcome (we have members in their teens and member in their 90s). You don't need to bring a partner because we mix it up for each dance. It's great fun and great exercise. You'll meet people from many walk …
