Since August 1997 I have been coming to Long Island, New York for a few weeks each year.  It started when I worked in the Marriage Tribunal, Galway and our office used to close for the month of August.  I spent two “Augusts” in St Patrick’s Parish, Huntington and, since August 1999, I have been coming to St Agnes’ Cathedral in Rockville Centre.  I enjoy coming here a lot, meeting people and priests here in the parish and having a chance to visit family and friends in New York and beyond.  It’s a lovely opportunity to get away and, being the creature of habit that I am, it’s an easy choice!  I went out earlier and took a fairly short video clip of the cathedral and surrounds and thought I might include it here.  (In hindsight I shouldn’t have included the background music so hit MUTE!!)
