Each year the start of the St. Patrick’s Day season begins with the Rockland County Emerald Ball and once
again, the Rockland County Mens’ and Ladies’ Ancient Order of Hibernians invite you to support this
special event. The Emerald Ball is a night to celebrate our Irish heritage with great friends, food, music,
and also serves as the primary fundraiser for the Annual Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We
hope you will join us at this year’s Ball on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at the Pearl River Hilton at 7 p.m.
As always, we will honor individuals who distinguish themselves through their actions and personify our motto of “Friendship, Unity & Christian Charity.” As such, we are proud to announce the 2026 honorees:
- Hibernian of the Year, Mary O’Mahony Mulcahy
- Businessperson of the Year, Chris Vergine, Wyman-Fisher Funeral Home
- Parade Commander, Sgt. Colleen Fitzpatrick, New York City Police Dept.
- Grand Marshal, Patrick Withers
- Aide to the Grand Marshal, NYC, Daniel J. Mulligan
There are a variety of ways that you can support this year’s event, including attending the Emerald Ball, sponsoring a journal ad, or making a direct donation. Details for purchasing tickets and journal ads or making a direct donation can be found here.
Thank you in advance for supporting the 62nd Annual Rockland County AOH St. Patrick’s Day Parade!
Sincerely,
| Dermot O. Moore President, Rockland Co. AOH | Terry McGeever President, Rockland Co. LAOH |
