The Inaugural Saint Mary Parish & School St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held from Saturday, March 12, 2022. It will be a time when the community can come together to celebrate a NEW tradition—another family day of fun and festivities in our town. As Saint Patrick is well known as the Patron Saint of Ireland, he is also credited with expanding literacy which is why Saint Mary Church and School are spearheading this event.
