2018 St. Patrick's Day Message
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY !
Today Marks the 257th
Annual New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade
As has become
customary, we reprint our St. Patrick’s Day Message first printed in 2011 for the
commemorative book
“250 Years of the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade.”
"For 257 years
we've marched, through adverse times and weather. We've marched in this
sacred parade through years of occupation, persecution, and poverty.
We've marched
through years of famine, war, discrimination and hate; years of working the
killing jobs that no one else would take.
We triumphed
over all with a courageous and joyful spirit that is uniquely Irish.
Through it all
we survived and never wavered; we held the banner high; we never let the
standard drop.
And as always,
we marched.
Today we
remember the millions of marchers who came before us, those magnificent Irish
souls whose struggles have given us all we have today. We pray for them,
we honor them; and we ask God to grant us the grace to always be as strong as
they were.
On this
momentous day let us rededicate ourselves to the struggle. May we always
band together to help each other, and bravely fight to overcome the world's
adversities. May we always hold the banner high and never drop the
standard. And may we teach our children and our children's children to do
the same.
Whatever the future brings, let us meet it with the hope, faith and happiness
of our forebears.
And always…..LET US
MARCH."
"May God bless this
parade, all who march in it, and all those who work to maintain, preserve and
protect the spirit and message of St. Patrick’s Day."
