In 1981, members of the community of Bayonne joined together
to form a committee for the purpose of establishing a Parade Committee
to organize, support, and present annually in the month of March,
a parade honoring the Patron Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick.
In March of 1982, after an absence of over 70 years,
Bayonne community members once again formed its first
Saint Patrick's Parade.
The four Irish organizations in the City of Bayonne are referred to
herein as the sponsoring organizations. They are:
Ireland's 32
The Irish American League
The County Corkmen's Association
The County Donegal Association
The governing body of the organization is the steering committee,
from which there are elected officers to direct
the activities of the organization. Those officers are:
Bill Dwyer - Chairperson
John Gillespie - Vice Chairperson
Agnes Gillespie - Treasurer
Margaret Calverley - Corresponding Secretary
Theresa Hennessey - Recording Secretary

Bayonne
celebrates "Saint Patrick's Month" with a number of March activities
building up to and following their beloved parade held the first Sunday after
March 17. Among these are a ceremonial raising of the Irish flag over the
Municipal Building, the official re-naming of the parade route to Saint
Patrick's Way, and the display of Irish crystal, china, and other imports in the
building's lobby. The Grand Marshal, selected by committee vote in January, is
invested with an official sash and walking stick at a brunch attended by about
250 people on the last Sunday in February. On the morning of the parade, a
special Mass, beginning with a procession of the Grand Marshal and his aides, is
hosted by one of four sponsoring Catholic churches. The parade itself includes
ten bagpipe bands and several marching bands, along with contingents from the
police force and fire department. Local schools, sports groups, and scouts
participate as well. At the conclusion of the parade, a two-hour party that is
attended by more than 1,000 people is held at a local high school. This event is
a family tradition for many Bayonne residents and a homecoming for former
residents. Corned beef sandwiches are served, Irish dancing is performed by
local students, and the bagpipers who marched in the parade all mass together in
the gym for a grand finale of Irish tunes. The parade is broadcast on television
ten times during the following weeks. It has been held each year since 1882
following a 71-year hiatus.
