Start your day off great with a special Parade Mass at St. Mary Church, Hillhouse Ave., at 10am.  After Mass refreshments will be served thanks to the Pioneers of the Sacred Heart.  We are appealing to everyone young and old to come out on Sunday, March 14th at 1pm. to show the spectators our pride in our true Irish heritage as we march down the streets of New Haven.  We need 42 people to carry the various flags, so call soon as they are going fast. There will be three buses leaving from our Club at 11.30 SHARP!! to bring us to the starting point of the parade.  Afterward we will have an early, late and later bus to transport the marchers back to the club for ceol agus craic.  Entertainment provided by The Kennedy’s.  No admission charge and food and beverages will be available. Please don’t let the people down who revived this grand parade in 1956. Some of them may have passed on, but their memories are still with us.  For further information please contact Cliff Lynch at 203-410-3098.
