The organization"St. Mary's Friends" will be carrying a banner for our endangered church in Saturday's St. Patrick's Day Parade up McLean Avenue in Yonkers. This is fitting recognition for a parish that was formed to minister to the Irish laborers brought in to build the railroad. The Irish were the first wave of immigrants to support and grow the parish, building a strong foundation for succeeding waves.
Latinos, many Mexican/Mexican-American, are the latest group to invigorate St. Mary's with their devotion, culture and service. I haven't been cued in to the planning, but I hope that Our Lady of Guadalupe will be there.
The parade begins at 1:00 PM on Saturday, CLICK HERE to view the site where you will find a button for the livestream.
