031426 StannCHARLOTTE — St. Ann School in Charlotte kicked off the diocese’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities Friday with a Parade of Saints through the hallways, Mass and a school assembly.

Students lined the halls as Bagpiper Brendan Anderson, a junior at Charlotte Catholic High School, played the bagpipes while St. Patrick walked through the school spreading St. Patrick's Day spirit. Students were also treated to an amazing Irish Step Dance performance featuring many of their classmates.  

On Saturday, a sea of green lined Tryon Street for Charlotte’s 2026 St. Patrick Day Parade.

More than 1,000 marchers, including students, teachers and parents from some of the Diocese of Charlotte's Catholic schools – St. Ann, Our Lady of the Assumption, St. Patrick and Charlotte Catholic High School – marched in the parade through uptown Charlotte. Other schools and parishes planned to continue festivities through the week.
