Irish Breakfast
Everything from Irish music by the Dueling Knights to an Irish breakfast complete with scones and marmalade are on tap at Our Lady of Perpetual Help gym Sunday to begin celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
The Rev. Joseph J. Donnelly Council 11660 of the Knights of Columbus, champions of the free Sunday breakfasts every month, are adding an Irish three leaf clover touch to the March 10 event, beginning at 8:30.am and continuing through the morning until noon.
“We know how much everyone loves our regular Sunday breakfasts,” said Mike Napolitano, grand knight of the local council, “and what better way to show our appreciation for all their support in our Knights event than to prepare an Irish breakfast to honor them and St. Patrick?”
In addition to the Dueling Knights providing background music with guitar, acoustic and electronic additions, Ellen Williams and the Knights will lead the crowd in an Irish Folk Classic sing along.
With Irish music in the background, the chefs, well known for their culinary expertise, will enlarge the regular menu to include a Knights specialty, “Irish French toast,” together with Irish Soda Bread, corned beef hash, Coffee with Irish Coffee syrup, Irish Cream coffee creamer, Irish green tea, St. Patrick’s Donuts and mini cupcakes. All that is offered in addition to the regular breakfast menu that includes scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese, pancakes, bottled water and more.
Guests will also receive keepsakes of the special breakfast.
While the Knights present the St. Patrick’s Irish Breakfast, like all their breakfasts, at no cost, donations are always gratefully accepted to help the Knights offset the costs of their numerous projects aiding both individuals and families in need as well as upkeep of the two churches in the parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help on Route 36 in Highlands and St. Agnes Church on Center Avenue, Atlantic Highlands.
Knights are also always available to answer any questions for catholic men interested in becoming a part of the international organization.
The breakfast will also give interested persons the opportunity to make reservations for the April 20 Sinatra Night and Comedy Show also sponsored by the Knights of Columbus council.
That event will be held at the Charles Hesse Parish Center on South Avenue in Atlantic Highlands and features Eric DeLauro presenting a Sinatra Tribute that has received accolades throughout the state.
Broccoli Rob, also known as Robert Anthony, who has appeared at Knights’ events in the past, will be the master of ceremonies and standup comedian for the April 20 event.
Tickets for the Sinatra Night, which also includes a full deluxe buffet dinner catered by Taliercio’s Gourmet Deli of Middletown, are $40 per person. There will also be a drawing for a flat screen tv, other family-friendly entertainment, soft beverages and dessert. Guests are invited to bring their own additional beverages if they choose.
