A Tour and Toast to St. Patrick
Though dead men tell no tales, there are two places that we can learn much about them: the wake-house and Laurel Hill Cemetery. Join us at the latter, as we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, while honoring the heritage and accomplishments of our proudest Irish souls, now gone to their final reward. ‘Tis a festive occasion to be enjoyed by the living, for earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal! So, while we await healing, let us tip our hats, take our drinks, and expand our minds at Laurel Hill!
B’fore the Devil Knows You’re Dead, a walking tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery, will take place on Saturday, March 14th at 2:00pm. In the spirit of a unified Ireland, the program will be led by Jerry McCormick of Six Counties’ descent, and his counterpart rebel of native birth, Bill Doran. Afterwards, join us in our historic Gatehouse, where the beer will be plenty and the ‘spirits’ will be merry. The program cost is $25 per person. As space is limited, advance reservations are requested. Please call 215.228.8200, or email tour@thelaurelhillcemetery.org, to reserve a space for you and your lucky lad or lass.
The Friends of Laurel Hill Cemetery gratefully acknowledge YUENGLING BREWERY, the generous Sponsors of St. Paddy’s Day 2009!
