37th Annual Friends of St. Patrick Luncheon

“The Friends of St. Patrick” was founded in 1987 in Walpole, Mass, by John D. Murphy and a small band of local citizens who realized the value of capturing the spirit of good will and good cheer that abounds each year on the feast of Ireland’s most famous saint. Join us for our annual luncheon!

The Friends of Saint Patrick are proud to honor Beth Pelick as the Person of the Year for 2025. Beth, a 4th general Walpole native, has made significant contributions to our community through her tireless volunteerism and dedication.
Not only has Beth become an integral part of many of Walpole’s business & charitable organizations, she also raised monies by walking for the Jimmy Fund, Alzheimer’s Foundation, Cathy’s Run, Cystic Fibrosis and Crohn’s-Colitis Disease, The Walk for Cancer and the Avon 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk. She also became an integral member of the Downtown Business Association.
Beth submitted the following charities for consideration this year: The Friends of Walpole Elders, The Walpole Lions Club, The 22 Mohawks Organization for Veterans, and The American Heart Association. The Friends will be contributing to all four Charities today on behalf of Beth.
