St. Patrick's Day Parade, 20 March 2016

Thanks  to all Patricians who made it for the parade on 20 March, 2.30pm from the Raffles Landing Site to UOB Plaza... We are all proud to be Patricians!!

 

Do note that the colours party  for the parade is still drawn from the uniformed groups of St Patrick's School, while the Parade Banner bearers are still our Society members; this tradition since 2006 continues!!

 

The 1st St Patrick's Day Parade was inaugurated 19 Mar 2006 by The Patrician Society and the Irish Business Association. The organisation of this first parade was spearheaded by Peter Ryan and Colin McDonald from the Irish Business Association, and by Yang Tuck Seng, Zero Nalpon, Vincent Low and Derek Scully from The Patrician Society.

 

The society organised this parade for the first 5 years since its inauguration, with support from St Patrick's School. The Gurka Contingent Bagpipers participated in the initial years; after which the SJI Bagpipers were invited to participate in this Irish and Patrician event.

 

This is now organised by the Irish Community of Singapore and the Irish St. Patrick's Society, on the Sunday subsequent / preceding St. Patrick's Day.

 

We, The Patrician Society - the alumni society of St.Patrick's School, together with St. Patrick's School, continue to support the parade... we are proud to note that there was one year where the Grand Marshall of the parade was our Patrician Alumnus and our society's patron, BG George Yeo.

 

The school and The Patrician Society honour our links with Ireland as we all have the same Patron Saint, and where many of us have been moulded by the many Irish Brothers who have graced St Patrick's School and whose mark has been left on us all. 

 

Once a Patrician, always a Patrician!!
