• By David Ariosto, CNNThe parade marched past St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where the landmark building is set to undergo more than $175 million in restorations, considered among the largest renovation projects in its history.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan presided there earlier Saturday for a mass attended by top city officials, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
“Today is a day to celebrate all things Irish and that means we have a lot to celebrate,” Bloomberg told reporters. “The Irish really have been the center of life for three centuries, and if you look around our administration, it is full of people with names like Kelly and Tierney and Gil Hearn and Dougherty and Hanley and Walsh.”
