Annual Events

Each year we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Patrick with a Mass concelebrated by Wilton Cardinal Gregory and auxiliary bishops. Traditional Irish music including Irish hymns are sung by St. Patrick’s Choir accompanied by flute and Celtic harp. A bagpiper and Irish dancers provide entertainment before the Mass outside the church. All are welcome.

At the Annual Blue Mass, first responders gather to remember the contributions of those who have served in law enforcement and public safety agencies and to ask for continued protection for them in the future. Representatives of Federal and local law enforcement and public safety agencies from the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area and around the country attend.  You can view the livestream of this year's Mass here and the article on the Mass this year by clicking the photo to the right.
