Catholic City with Zina Zina Gomez-Liss

Yes, I want to see you at the Catholic New Media Celebration on June 22. But what I really want to do right now is embarrass a friend! Go to celebration.sqpn.com!

Zina goes to her first ever St. Patrick's Day Parade. March 16, 2008 was South Boston's 108th St. Patrick's Day Parade. Learn how Bostonians got to take the day off on St. Patrick's Day every year. Featuring "The Leprechaun" by Marc Gunn. Check out more great podsafe music at music.podshow.com.

A brief history of how the Irish came to Boston, and a look at Boston's two memorials for the Irish Potato Famine. Zina brings you to St. Peter's Church for a unique look at the yearly tradition of the Famine Mass and the Blessing of the Potatoes. Features music from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network.

Zina travels around Boston looking for a parade that doesn't exist and instead finds people going to the ballot boxes.
