PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Benjamin Franklin
Parkway turned Kelly Green on Sunday as Philadelphians came out for one
of the country’s oldest St. Patrick’s Day Parades.
Sarah
Hershey and her three friends attended their first St. Patrick’s Day
parade in Philadelphia, and for her, it was a nice change of pace for
the weekend.
“Usually,
we celebrate by going to McGillins all day. We did that yesterday, so
this is definitely more… what’s the word… wholesome. Wholesome. I like
it.”
For Mike Callahan, the day was reminiscent of Super Bowl Sunday, as
hundreds gathered at St. Patrick’s Church for Sunday Mass. Archbishop
Nelson J. Pérez said this year’s theme was “St. Patrick, bless those
dedicated to serving others.”
