From the beginning, Thom McNamee Memorial Dundee St. Patrick's Day Parade FISH was who Thom started raising money for. We are so happy to continue this tradition.

The McNamee Family Foundation presented FISH Food Pantry a check for $14,000 from this year's Thom McNamee Memorial Dundee St. Patrick's Day Parade celebrations and Dublindee Kilted 5K run. It is hard to express how grateful we are to these amazing folks for their wonderfully generous support of the pantry.

THANK YOU!!

💚 The Story of St Brigid 🇮🇪

Long ago in early Christian Ireland, a girl named St Brigid was born into a time when old Irish traditions and new Christian beliefs existed side by side.

From a young age, Brigid was known for her kindness and generosity. She gave food to the hungry and clothes to the poor, often giving away whatever she had, even when it caused trouble for her. She believed that no one should suffer while others had plenty.

As she grew older, Brigid chose a religious life and became a leader at Kildare. There, she founded a great monastery that welcomed both women and men. Under her guidance, Kildare became a centre of learning, healing, and faith, known across Ireland.

Many stories grew around her life. It is said that she fed the poor with food that never ran out, that a sacred flame burned at her monastery as a symbol of light and hope, and that she wove a cross from rushes to explain her faith. The Brigid’s Cross is still made in Irish homes today.

Her feast day, 1 February, falls on Imbolc, the ancient festival marking the return of light after winter. Over time, Brigid came to represent renewal, protection, and compassion.

Whether remembered through faith or folklore, St Brigid’s story is one of generosity, strength, and care for others, a legacy that has lasted for over 1,500 years.
