St. Patrick heard the voice of the Irish calling to him, saying, "Come holy boy and walk amongst us again."
May we also hear Celtic voices both past and present—the ancient lives, the immigrant ancestors, the modern day wayfarers—and learn from their stories.

Immigrant Eyes
I was trying to decide what to post today when I found this video. I have been writing about immigrants who came through Ellis Island, so this really touched me.
Did your ancestors come through Ellis Island? None of mine that I know of did. But we have all been touched, even unknowingly, by those who came and contributed to this country economically, socially, and in many other ways.
Gerry and I visited Ellis Island (my forebears came here in 1690s and early 1700s -- before Ellis Island was a thing)...and Gerry in particular was very touched by the displays there. We spent quite a bit of time there.
