St. Columban-Irish Forum

A few of us were at the opening last night of the new Irish exhibition at the McCord Museum in Montreal called ?Being Irish O?Quebec?. It is a terrific exhibition and includes a section dedicated to St. Columban. It runs until April 2010 and should not be missed. Here are the details:-

Being Irish O'Quebec
From March 20, 2009 to April 4, 2010

McCord Museum of Canadian History
690 Sherbrooke Street West
Montreal, Quebec H3A 1E9
Phone : (514) 398-7100

There is also an article about the exhibition in today?s Montreal Gazette (March 20th) on page A7 by Mike Boone which mentions St. Columban although he seems to have made a mistake thinking that the exhibition only runs until April 2009 rather than April 2010.

I found some additional information on the exhibit on the museum web site with the correct dates:

Claude sent us another article about this event from a recent Quebec City newspaper article which you can view at:-
