Failte ~ Welcome to Foreign Language Week!
Each year the Union Catholic Foreign Language Department takes one week to celebrate the languages and cultures of foreign countries. Each morning this week the UC Community is being greeted on UCTV by students speaking either French, Italian, or Spanish...with the translation following. The Main Lobby is filled with flags from countries all over the world, hallways are lined with posters competing in the the foreign language poster contest, and the Foreign Language Society Induction will be celebrated this evening. But my favorite part about this week has to be the cultural "bake off"! Students are asked to use a recipe from their heritage to bake a dessert and the faculty has the privilege of sampling and voting on the best dessert...I will keep my personal favorite a secret, but am anxious to hear what dessert wins!
As far as my heritage...in my house we are making a lot of soda bread and looking forward to the many parades to celebrate Irish Heritage...Feel free to stop by the Union County St. Patrick's Day Parade in Union on March 13th! Union Catholic has the honor of carrying all of Ireland's County Banners for the parade!!
This Friday opens the Spring Sports season...one of my favorites! Make sure to check the sports schedule and come see a home game on our new turf field!!
