Sunday’s (Mar. 2) St. Pat’s For All Parade through Sunnyside and Woodside brought out hundreds of participants, many of whom represented various social, political and sports organizations. From top to bottom, the groups pictured are Girl Scouts Troop 4283; the Shannon Gaels GAA of New York, a gaelic football organization; and the Queens Lesbian and Gay Pride Committee. The inclusive march celebrated Irish heritage as well as St. Patrick, the fifth-century bishop and patron saint of Ireland whose feast is traditionally celebrated on Mar. 17.
