Celebrate St. Brigid at the Irish Cultural Center with Lunch & Learn for Kids! The H.A.R.P. Museum at the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley is excited to host two fun and educational Lunch & Learn sessions for kids aged 8–14 on Saturday, January 25, 2025. This is a FREE event!
We’re diving into the Gaelic festival of Imbolc, celebrated in Ireland in early February, which honors St. Brigid—a patron saint of Ireland—and Brigid the goddess.
Here’s the scoop:
Morning Session: Meet the Author!
Time: 11:00 AM
Kids will connect with Irish author Síne Quinn over Zoom to explore the incredible life of St. Brigid. Síne, a creative writing facilitator at Trinity College Dublin, will share stories from her book Holy Shocking Saints, which dives into the lives of Ireland’s most fascinating saints. (Spoiler alert: St. Brigid is full of surprises!)
Afternoon Session: Get Crafty!
Time: 1:00 PM
Let’s get hands-on! Kids will learn to weave a traditional St. Brigid’s Cross using pipe cleaners and rushes straight from Ireland. Don’t worry—our awesome volunteers will be there to help every step of the way.
Details to Know:
• FREE to attend!
• Lunch is included for kids (parents/guardians are welcome to join but will need to purchase their own lunch).
• Limited spots available! Register now: https://bit.ly/4izjl7N.
This program welcomes children of all backgrounds and is funded through a Legislative Initiative Program grant secured by Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon.
Don’t miss this chance to learn, laugh, and celebrate Irish culture! ☘️
