On March 4th, Binghamton celebrated the 50th anniversary of the St. Patrick’s Day parade. The day began with a beautiful mass at St. Mary’s Church to honor St. Patrick and our deceased members. The celebration continued at Seton Catholic High with musical entertainment by Pipe and Mummer bands and Old Friends. The day came to a close at the AOH with music by Pat Kane. The theme of this year’s parade was “50 years of Irish pride”, a reminder of our many Irish blessings.
On St. Patrick’s Day, our officers and members attended the flag raisings in Johnson City and Binghamton. Members also attended mass and a party at St. Patrick’s Church. Our AOH hall opened its doors to celebrate and enjoyed music by The Shambles in the evening.
