St Patrick's Day Celebrations in Nottingham
17 March - In Nottingham, celebrations began early this morning at Our Lady & St Patrick’s Catholic Church, Meadows, where Parish Priest Father Wilfred Pereppadan SCJ welcomed Bishop Patrick McKinney, Bishop of Nottingham who celebrated Mass in honour of the fifth-century saint! Four Betharram Fathers joined the concelebration, Frs Wilfred, Athit, Pitak and Enrico. Br John and br Andrew were also present.
For all there, it was a beautiful start to the day of celebrating heritage, culture, and deep faith.
The large congregation included the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Cllr Wendy Smith; Raymond Mullen, Deputy Director Foreign Policy of the Embassy for Ireland; Mike Meehan, Grand Marshal for the Nottingham Saint Patrick's Day Festival 2023; many individuals and families from across the city; and was enhanced even more by the presence of staff and students from St Patrick's Catholic Primary School, Wilford, who even presented Bishop Patrick with a special 'feast day gift' after a round of "Happy Feast Day To You", led by Fr Wilfred!
