Mayor Jon Mitchell joined the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Thursday morning on the steps of City Hall to raise the Irish Flag.

The flag-raising marked St. Patrick's Day and honored the contributions of Irish Americans in New Bedford in politics and business, along with other professions.

The Friendly Sons are very active in helping local charities and they're also the prime sponsor of this weekend's New Bedford Half Marathon.
