The New York City Knights of Saint Patrick have been stepping up their support for Downstate regional Irish cultural events and Saint Patrick’s Day parades as part of their continuing efforts to boost Irish heritage groups in America.
The latest group to benefit from the Knights' largesse has been the popular Warwick Saint Patrick’s Day Parade which this week received a $1,000 contribution to its annual Feast Day celebrations.
This colourful parade will commence on Sunday March 9 in the Village of Warwick, New York at 11am with Matthias “Matty” Reilly assuming the role of Grand Marshal.
The donation was presented to Brian E. McCabe, the Chairman of the Warwick Parade Committee (a member of the New York City Knights of Saint Patrick), at the New York Athletic Club on February 11, 2024, by Knights of Saint Patrick's Brian J. Sharkey.
