On Thursday, March 10, the Boston Center for Youth and Families sponsored a luncheon for seniors at the Condon Community Center. BCYF staff at the Condon organized the event and happily served those seniors in attendance. Boston City Councilor Billy Linehan came by and sang a couple of Irish songs. Boston at-large councilors Anissa Essaibi George and Mike Flaherty came by to wish the seniors a happy St. Patrick’s Day. Councilor Flaherty asked the group why they were being served Italian food at an Irish event. I guess they really didn’t care because the food was so tasty. Local resident John Healey also sang an Irish ditty and everyone had a great time. -Kevin Devlin Local resident John Healey is pictured with at-large Boston [...]

Annual Senior Salute strikes a celebratory note

2016-03-16T14:49:56-04:00March 16th, 2016|Categories: Happenings|Comments Off on Annual Senior Salute strikes a celebratory note

By RICK WINTERSON Each year, the mayor of Boston’s office and the South Boston Citizens’ Association host the annual South Boston Senior Salute in St. Monica Hall. This is a noontime corned-beef-and-cabbage banquet to which all seniors are invited. This event ties into the St. Patrick “season” in South Boston, and is always well attended. This Year of Our Lord 2016 was no exception. Approximately 300 seniors showed up for the feast. It was a complete Irish banquet, including ample coffee and soda bread. Yes, it was the kind that had raisins in it – lots of them – but no caraway flavoring. After all, we didn’t want to start another Irish Civil War. There were many, many raffles, and even a brownie at the [...]

On Tuesday, March 15, a U.S. District Court judge restored the 2016 parade’s original, longer route, allowing it to end in Andrew Square. South Boston’s Allied War Veterans Council held a final meeting Tuesday evening to assure maximum parade safety. The following morning, the USS McFaul (DDG-74), a guided missile cruiser with GE engines, docked; her crew will march in the parade. By RICK WINTERSON It has been quite a parade week so far. South Boston’s Allied War Veterans Council (by a 9-0 Supreme Court edict in 1994) owns the privilege and responsibility of presenting the annual St. Patrick’s/Evacuation Day Parade in South Boston. But after the council submitted its 2016 parade permit request in April of last year, City Hall’s licensing bureaucracy sat on the [...]
