The St. Croix County town of Erin Prairie has one of the highest percentages of Irish-heritage Catholics around. The local parish, St. Patrick, is the center of the town, with its members lingering long after each Sunday service and many of them bringing the celebration across town to the Irish pub – social center of the neighborhood, heavy on game rooms for the children and families – that was run for decades by parishioners. It’s called Mary’s Erin Corners, and even has a softball field with a press box on wooden stilts and lots of log-built spectator seating.
