THURSDAY March 17th at 7pm: DARBY O'GILL and the Good People

DARBY O'GILL
And The Good People
The Only True History, as told by Brian Connors, the King of the Good People, to Father Cassidy, and afterwards related by Jerry Murtaugh a Reliable Car Driver, who goes between Kilcuny and Balinderg
THE most lonesome bridle-path in all Ireland leads from Tom Healy's cottage down the sides of the hills, along the edge of the valley, till it raiches the highroad that skirts the great mountain, Sleive-na-mon. One blusthering, unaisy night, Father Cassidy, on his way home from a sick call, rode over that same path. It wasn't strange that the priest, as his horse ambled along, should be thinking of that other night in Darby O'Gill's kitchen - the night when he met with the Good People; for there, off to the left, towered and threatened Sleive-na-mon, the home of the fairies.

AND DON'T FORGET @ 9PM ~ St. Pat's Special
"The Quiet Man"
presented by Caledonia Skytower
Caledonia shares Maurice Walsh's beloved short story of two people bound by traditions and challenged by love. Walsh's stories, including this one, were the inspiration for the screenplay of the 1951 Academy Award-winning motion picture of the same name: THE QUIET MAN.

TUESDAY, March 10th at 7PM: SAINT PATRICK & FRIENDS

Saints Preserve Us!

In American culture there are few saints more familiar than those of Ireland. St. Patrick's day is celebrated far and wide, more than a few believe St. Brendan to have been the first named European to set foot on American soil, and the straw cross of St. Brigid is is not unrecognizable. 


But, who were these people? What are the stories behind them? 

  • Just where did Brendan go? 
  • What's the story behind that woven cross? 
  • Did Patrick really drive all the snakes from Ireland's shores? 

Find out! Join Cædmon for stories and excerpts of the lives of Ss. Brendan, Brigid, and Patrick, live in voice.
