We have been privileged to contribute to many wonderful organizations and individuals throughout the Lowcountry through the continued generosity and support of our many loyal sponsors. Your generosity has not only allowed us the opportunity to contribute but has allowed us to showcase our Irish heritage and culture with our annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, a tradition enjoyed by thousands each year!

The Booklet is a keepsake for the many individuals, families, organizations and businesses that have made a difference in our community and Charleston’s Irish.

Each year this family friendly celebration begins with mass at St. Patrick’s Church on St. Philip Street sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Council 704 followed by the Parade stepping off at the corner of King and Radcliffe and ending at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Broad Street. Many family friendly celebrations of Irish and Irish-American culture continue throughout the city and we hope you stay and enjoy the day with us!
