St Patrick's Day was celebrated as a church holiday for centuries before it became a secular holiday. The first church celebration of the day in the colonies was in 1684 in New York City.

I was even more surprised that was so long ago (1762).

Even though the Irish waves of immigrants were treated like second class citizens up through the 20th century... it's nice to know that they stayed organized with their Irish and American patriotism and kept this great Catholic celebration alive.
