I am honored to have the opportunity today to welcome as our guest chaplain the Reverend Robert Michael Kearns. S.S.J. I think it is particularly fitting that Father Kearns opened our session on this feast of St. Patrick. the patron saint of Ireland. Father Kearns was raised in our hometown of South Boston. which many of us consider the sister county of Galway. a community which has been shaped culturally by generations of Irish immigration. Father Kearns was baptized at Gate of Heaven Church and was confirmed and attended school at St. Brigids which. in a community where people list the address by street and parish. is our version of ecumenism.
