But snake meat would be fine. Technically, it’s the flesh of warmblooded animals that is off limits on Fridays. In the same week that Pope Francis opened the door to possibly revising the tradition of priestly celibacy, Rhode Island’s outgoing, ultra-conservative, Bishop Tobin declared that his flock must forgo corned beef this St. Patrick’s Day, …

Providence State Senator Maryellen Goodwin is the guest speaker. The celebration …

Starring the Rev. Joseph Paquette as St. Patrick, the parade starts at Jenks Junior High on …
