September 21 & 22, 2024

Old St. Pat’s invites all members—Chicago locals and our widespread livestream community—to join together in person for a Member Appreciation Celebration Saturday, September 21, and Sunday, September 22.

From the Irish immigrants who founded Old St. Patrick’s in 1846 to all who choose this sacred place as your spiritual home today, members are the heart of Old St. Patrick’s. You are the reason Old St. Pat’s is known as a place of welcome, hospitality, and beauty.
