On March 17, 2025, Cardinal Timothy Dolan hosted a breakfast for a small group before the St. Patrick's Day parade in Manhattan. While Dolan is beloved in New York, attendance was low, further emphasizing the dwindling participation in Irish cultural celebrations. The article humorously notes the paradoxes and quirks of faith, tradition, and modern society, including jokes shared during the gathering, which reflect on the intersection of Catholicism and everyday life. Dolan's embrace of humor and fellowship amidst a changing backdrop adds a light-hearted dimension to the festivities.
His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan invited a few of the faithful for breakfast before the St. Patrick's Day parade. Although he loves New York and New York loves him, not a huge crowd.
So I did the only intelligent thing. I brought His Eminence jokes: God heals and doctors take the fees. My friend's Catholic. His mother's an atheist. When he goes to confession he brings his lawyer along.
