Holy Moly

At the Irish Cultural Center this Sunday, learn to pray the Our Father in Irish. Which is a good idea, since we all know that God and Jesus and all those fellas are in fact Irishmen.

2:00 PM and only $3 for Irish Center members. $5 if you ain't.

Here. I'll get you started.

Ár nAthair (Our Father)

Ár nAthair, atá ar neamh, (are en-ah-her, ah-taw air nahve)
Go naofar d'ainm, (guh nay-fer dan-im)
Go dtaga do ríocht, (guh dag-uh duh ree-ocht)
Go ndéantar do thoil ar an talamh, (guh nyean-tar duh haul are un tahluv)
Mar a dhéantar ar neamh. (mar uh yean-tar are nahve)
Ár n-arán laethúil tabhair dúinn inniu; (Are nuh-rawn lay-hoole tower doo-in in-new)
Agus maith dúinn ár bhféicha, (ah-gus mah doo-in are vee-ih-cuh)
Mar a mhaithimidne dár bhféichúina féin. (mar uh wah-hi-midge-ne dar vey-coo-nuh fayne)
Agus ná lig sinn i gcathú, (ah-gus naw lig shin ih gah-who)
Ach saor sinn ó olc. (ach sear shin oh ulc)
Amen. (Ah-men)

Sincerely appreciated your plug for this program, Dan. It's great when the different KC Irish organizations support each other :)

It was so lovely to be able to learn the Lord's Prayer in Irish == I've always felt at a loss at the Irish Mass at Fest and at Redemptorist for the St Patrick's Day Mass (I find the phonetic printings very difficult). This program was really helpful to get together with others and a knowledgable teacher. And I was happy to give a small donation for the teacher's time and expertise. (But then, I'm an Irishman, not a Scot!)
