Friends of St. Patrick Parade and 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. Watch coverage of the parade and luncheon, where The Friends’ honor their 2026 Person of the Year, Coach Bill Tompkins!
