Community members bundled up for the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade on brisk Friday afternoon.
The big celebration is the culmination of the parade committee’s efforts, including numerous fundraising events each year. The beneficiaries of this year’s 36th annual parade are Cantemos, Sunrise Project and O’Connell Children’s Shelter.
