This Saint Patrick’s Day is different…
Saint Patrick's Day 2021 is going to be different for everyone. So let's embrace what we CAN do. Here are some links to events taking place online and in person. We hope you find an experience to enjoy.
The National Memorial to An Gorta Mór is located in Philadelphia Pa, USA. This memorial commemorates the struggle and pain of those Irish who fled their homeland in the face of a hunger of catastrophic proportions. It celebrates their courage that forged an enduring link between Ireland and America.
