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.
