Thousands gathered at St. Patrick’s Cathedral Monday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a special Mass led by Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Archbishop Eamon Martin, Primate of All Ireland. The liturgy served as a reminder of St. Patrick’s enduring legacy as a “pilgrim of hope,” with Archbishop Martin reflecting on the saint’s resilience and faith.
