After failing to convert the king, he prayed he’d do better with the two princesses. That’s when he used a shamrock to show how a single plant with three leaves is likened to the one Triune God with three separate and distinct Persons, and the shamrock became famous. And these last three notes. First, ‘Erin Go Bragh’ are not words an Englishman uses to tell an Irishman where to go. It’s an English corruption of the Irish phrase Éirinn go Brách.

Construction of the Glenmore Dam in 1929 flooded part of the Livingston farm but a fish hatchery, a school and a government building have been named in his honour. Paddy Nolan. Perhaps the most colourful Irishman to make his mark on Calgary was Limerick-born Patrick James (Paddy) Nolan, a criminal defence lawyer in the city from the 1890 s onward. Nolan wrote for the Herald, campaigned for various politicians, and earned a reputation as the city's most popular amateur dramatist. His most infamous (and frequent) client was Caroline Fulham, also born of the Emerald Isle.

Born in Ontario to Irish immigrants, Alexander Calhoun had trained as a classical scholar and interned as a librarian when, in 1910, he answered an ad for a person to organize and run Alberta's first public library, in Calgary.

If we continue to do that in this nation, we may get what we ask for, a society where the Bible is not proclaimed and where sin abounds without the Word confronting peoples’ consciences. When we neglect the Word as our moral conscience and compass, we drift, as a nation, into moral decadence and decay. In our private lives, we fall into spiritual apathy and sleep which will ultimately lead to a life without moorings that drifts on the sea of life.
