The St. Patrick’s Day Committee is happy to announce the 2025 edition of our annual parade, taking place on Saturday, March 15th at 12:30. Please note that the starting position for the parade has yet to be decided, due to roadworks on the usual route, but will be announced as soon as possible. Stay tuned!
For the first time since 2019, a special Mass for the Feast of St Patrick will be celebrated in St Olav’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Akersveien 1, 0177 Oslo, on Friday 18 March at 1800 hrs. The Mná na hÉireann Choir will sing at the Mass, which will be concelebrated by, among others, the Bishop of Oslo, Msgr Bernt Eidsvig and the two Irish priests in the Oslo Diocese, Fr Rory Mulligan and Fr Joseph Mulvin. The Irish Ambassador HE Keith McBean will also participate.
Everyone is welcome – of all denominations or none! Come for that Irish community feeling, the music, the wonderful singing by the Mná na hEireann choir, and to express our hopes for a better future for the world.
Light refreshments – coffee, tea, home-made cakes and chat – will be served afterwards in St Sunniva Skole, across the road from St Olav’s.
