Join us at the Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade Day on
Sunday, March 11, 2018
Start your day off great with the parade Mass at St. Mary’s Church, Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven at 10:00 am
The Most Reverend Leonard Blair, Archbishop of Hartford
will once again preside as celebrant. Last year’s Mass resulted in ‘standing room only’
Besides our patron, Saint Patrick being honored, Joan Moynihan, who was president of the IACC in 1988/89 as well as being quite active in the Greater New Haven Irish community will also share in the celebration. Joan passed away on March 13, 2009.
The parade committee will march up the center aisle in full dress. Also in attendance will be colour guards from both the Knights of Columbus and the New Haven Police Emerald Society. Quite a colourful Mass.
Hope to see you all there.
After Mass refreshments will be served
thanks to the Pioneers of the Sacred Heart.
We are appealing to everyone to come out on Sunday, March 11th at 1:30 pm to show the spectators our pride in our true Irish heritage as we march down the streets of New Haven.
