Knights’ St. Pat’s Revelry Set for March 14

HILLSDALE, N.J.—The Knights of Columbus Mother Seton Council #5427 of Washington Township is hosting its annual St. Patrick’s Day Dinner Dance on Saturday, March 14, from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Council Hall, 79 Pascack Road. 

The evening starts with a happy hour featuring pass-around hors d’oeuvres followed by a traditional dinner of corned beef and cabbage with all the trimmings, including dessert and coffee.

There is an open bar, featuring Guinness on tap, for the entire evening. 

“The popular Patsy McLoughlin Irish Dancers are on the program and will perform after dinner. They are wonderful young Irish-American dancers who aspire to compete in Ireland every summer. Not only are we entertained by this fine talent, we support their dancing careers,” reports co-chair Jim Dugan. 

He added, “A special treat in recent years has featured pipers and drummers from the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County. They march in the St. Patrick’s Parade in New York City and pay us a visit before the night ends.”

Sound Illusions is providing DJ music with a distinctive Irish flavor mixed with a lively variety for dancing. Some Irish sing-along tunes to mark the occasion are also on the agenda.

Paid-in-advance reservations are required, as seating is limited as the affair always sells out. The last day to purchase tickets is March 9. The cost is an all-inclusive $55 per person. 

Net proceeds from the event go to local charities. Chairmen Jim Dugan and Paul Kearney encourage you to organize a table of eight, 10, or 12 and get your tickets before the deadline.
