Cleveland's large Irish community has many masses on St. Patrick's Day. The largest are at St. Colman's on the West side and hosted by the West Side Irish American Club and at Saints Robert and William Church on the East side hosted by the Irish American Club East Side (IACES). This year we attended the East side Mass.

Note: As always, we reduced the resolution of the photos for speedy web loading so if you want high-resolution copies, let us know.

Here is a short video of the Mass Recessional with the priests leaving the altar followed by pipes and drums from the Irish American Club East Side and honorees.

After Mass, honorees and parade directors gather at the Cosgrove Center at East 17th and Superior.

From there they walked into the cold and snow to the steps of the Cosgrove Center for the start of the ceremony and blowing the whistle.
