AOH Donor Mass

On June 4th was one of the very best days and Masses I've ever experienced.

That Sunday, AOH/LAOH faithful from throughout Allegheny County came to Old St. Patick's Church to celebrate, honor and thank the donors who funded the new stained glass windows in the church.

Fr. Jeremiah O'Shea and Fr. Harry Nichols co-celebrated the Mass. Others participating in the Mass were Tom Welch who along with Bern Donnelly organized a wonderful day and readers Jim Green, Devinney and Denny Donnelly.

Following Mass, we assembled at the church doors (a little rainy that day) to witness Fr. O'Shea and Fr. Nichols' blessing of our newly refinished St. Patrick statue in the courtyard.
Many thanks to all the donors and to our good friend Nick Parrendo (or is it O'Parrendo? - note the green sweater) of Hunt Stained Glass Studio for creating and installing the windows and refurbishing the statue of St. Patrick - and is himself a donor too - a great man and dear friend of the AOH.
