Diocesan float to feature for first time in Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Kilkenny

This year, the Kilkenny St Patrick’s Day Parade will feature a diocesan float for the first time.

Bishop of Ossory Niall Coll is encouraging principals of second level schools in Kilkenny to get involved in the formation of the float.

The float will have musicians, diocesan and school placards.

It is hoped that this initial float will lead to wider participation from schools throughout the county.
