Reimagining the Borough’s Traditional Saint Patrick’s Day Celebration and More Stories On Staten Island

Staten Island’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade was one of the last major events to be held in the City in 2020, stepping-off just a few short weeks before strict COVID-19 stay-at-home orders went into effect; why West Brighton locals say there was still a reason to celebrate in 2021, even as this year’s event was forced to be reimagined. Also this month, as vaccination programs continue to reach more people, there are many Island organizations who are stepping up to help; how the Jewish Community Center is making a difference during the pandemic. Plus, this episode’s "Local Hero of the Month" is Laura Mooney, a Staten Islander who, despite adversity, is offering a much-needed support system to those with a rare form of cancer.
