Senator Nick Collins
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 2025 Annual Saint Patrick’s Day Boston Breakfast. We are excited and grateful to have you all here today.
For over seventy years, the St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast in Boston, has served as an opportunity for cultural leaders and the community to come together in celebration of our Irish heritage here in Boston and throughout the Commonwealth. As we gather to celebrate the feast of Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, through the Irish traditions of music, dance and laughter, let us be mindful that the freedoms we exercise here today—freedom of speech, freedom to gather, freedom of religion, freedom of the press— are engrained in our Constitution. It is in our nation’s DNA but it is not free.
Today, we also celebrate the important history of the Revolutionary War and the Evacuation of British Troops from Boston. In this spirit of Evacuation Day, we honor the members of the United State Armed Forces and their families. These selfless citizens from all race and creed sign up to defend our nation, its laws and freedoms. It is because of their service and sacrifice that we can enjoy this celebration.
And remember, no matter who you are or where you come from – everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!
Céad Míle Fáilte!
A Hundred Thousand Welcomes!
Nick Collins
About
In terms of tradition, the concept of a state Saint Patrick’s Day Breakfast in Boston is much newer than the city Breakfast. For decades city officials hosted breakfasts, and as recently as 1972 Joe Moakley co-hosted the Breakfast as a city councilor. The tradition in some ways is whoever paid for the Breakfast hosted it. It is an event that was never meant to be taken too seriously, but instead as an enjoyable gathering before marching in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in South Boston. This year Senator Nick Collins will host the St Patrick’s Day breakfast on March 16, 2025 at the Ironworkers Local 7 Union Hall. The Event Runs from 9am – Noon.
