A Detroit tradition: Inside St. Patrick’s Day at Most Holy Trinity

When Irish immigrants began settling in the city of Detroit in the 1800s, they made their spiritual home at Most Holy Trinity Parish in Corktown. Almost two centuries later, the city and its neighborhoods have changed a great deal. But one thing remains the same: Most Holy Trinity’s Irish Catholic heritage. Today, the parish continues to host the city’s pre-eminent St. Patrick’s Day celebration, dubbed “Sharin’ o’ the Green,” which includes a festive Mass preceded by singing, dancing and traditional Irish hymns. After Mass, the parish hosts a “Taste of Corktown” event to raise money for various social outreaches sponsored by the parish.

Charles Kosanke: We're here at Most Holy Trinity Church in Corktown, March 17th, St. Patrick's Day, which for the last seventy years has been also called the Sharin’ o’ the Green. Since 1834 Most Holy Trinity Church has been known for its outreach to the poor and suffering in Corktown and in the city of Detroit Maureen Miller Brosnan: In particular, the Cabrini clinic, which is the oldest medical clinic in all of America. We support a food bank, a clothing bank, a Christmas party that supplies presents to 500 needy children in this area, as well as a legal clinic, and all sorts of other social programs. Msgr. Charles: The highlight of the day really is the sacred liturgy, the holy Mass. And then after the Mass, there’s a reception, it's called “A Taste of Corktown.” Several restaurants in Corktown have donated food, Maureen: You know, St. Patrick was all about bringing people together around their faith to support the community, to make sure that we were a community of givers, of caretakers. Michael Kelly: Now the Southwest Detroit community is where all the Irishmen came when they immigrated from Ireland into Detroit. I love seeing the people come into Mass, I like passing out envelopes to them. Maureen: So my favorite part of today started when my kids were really little and we would bring them here on St. Patrick's Day and they were Irish dancers, and they would process up the aisle dancing with the offertory gifts, and the beautiful part of this Mass and of this celebration is that it's one of the things that has kept my young adults continuing to come to church. Msgr. Charles: My grandparents came from Ireland in 1914. So I look forward to this day every year. I never thought I'd be pastor here someday. I’m very happy and, and very grateful for everybody who supports our outreach.
