Fiers d’avoir participé au défilé de la Saint-Patrick de Montréal dimanche dernier.

Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont défilé, fait du bénévolat et participé aux célébrations—malgré la météo. Votre énergie et votre esprit rendent cette tradition si spéciale, année après année.

Une magnifique célébration de notre communauté, de notre héritage et de notre fierté.

Proud to have taken part in Montréal’s St. Patrick’s Parade this past Sunday.

A part of our history. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Joyeuse Saint-Patrick ! ☘️

"Même si les provinces maritimes entretiennent des relations étroites avec l'Irlande, c'est au Québec que les liens canadiens-irlandais sont les plus forts. En effet, 40 % de la population déclare être de descendance irlandaise. Cela n’est étonnant, étant donné que leur port d'entrée au pays a longtemps été la ville Québec. À cours de ressources pour continuer leur voyage, beaucoup d'immigrants irlandais s'installent dans la région et s'intègrent à la population francophone. Ils atténuent les différences culturelles qui séparent la majorité française ‒ dont ils partagent la religion et la minorité anglaise dont ils parlent la langue."

We are sad to learn of the recent passing of Mrs. Muriel Doyle in her 100th year, mother of UIS Past President Danny Doyle.

Muriel Ann Agnes Rhind was born in late 1926 in Montreal to Charles Aloysius Rhind and Ethel Craft and was baptized at St. Dominic’s Church.

In the mid 1940s Muriel Rhind and Daniel Anthony Doyle were married and together in Griffintown they raised their family of 12 children - Sharon, Colleen, Donna, Darlene, Ann, Danny, Billy, Downey, Cathy, Jack, Donald, and Kelly. There are too many grandchildren to list (29 grandchildren an 21 great grandchildren to be exact) however several have filled key roles in the UIS in recent years, including Chief Deputy Marshal Danny Doyle, Banquet Committee Chairperson Shawn Doyle, and Vice President – Organization Devin St. James. Her son Jack also serves as Assistant Parade Director.

On behalf of the United Irish Societies of Montreal, we offer our most sincere condolences to the Doyle family on the loss of their mother and grandmother after a long life well lived surrounded by love.
