1916 Easter Uprising - Flag Raising
On
Sunday, April 27th at 9:00 am, the Greater New Haven St. Patrick's Day
Parade invites you to attend a Mass for Peace and a Flag Raising ceremony to
commemorate the 98th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Uprising.
Following the Mass there will be a ceremony to honor the patriots of 1916 and the Hunger Strikers of 1981. This annual public ceremony serves
as a reminder to all ethnic groups that freedom and liberty carry a high price. Local honorees are remembered in a roll call and the original "Proclamation of Freedom" will be read.
Police and Fire Emerald Societies, as well as state and local political officials, are encouraged to attend. Please call for
arrangements.
