Beautiful weather was the name of the game this year at the 2010 Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Warm temperatures made it very easy for the marchers and the spectators as they say AOH Members Tom Lilly and Gerry Herbert lead the celebration as Grand Marshal and Aide, respectively.
Afterwards, Division 8 celebrated at Page One restaurant where Lilly and Herbert received citations from Mayor Ralph Suozzi.
This parade also marks the last one for Chairman Andy Stafford, who will be stepping down from the position after 10 years. Because of that, Stafford also received a citation from the Mayor.

There is something happening to our nation, something good. And guess who is leading the way to our better tomorrow? The youth! The picture below (March for Life 2010 photo’s) captures what the majority of the youth in our nation intuitively understand. That Life, all Life, is precious. Here are some numbers: Over 100 parishioners took the journey to the March for Life from St. Patrick’s Church. 10 Confirmation candidates, 11 Youth Group members and 8 Family’s. 58 were female, 50 were male. 53 were under 25! More stat’s, pictures and video on the way, stay tuned.
St. Patrick’s Respect Life Office would like to thank all those who contributed to the cost of the buses. We’d especially like to thank the bus company World Wide Tours, Michael Shub, and our drivers, Willie and Alvin, for comfortable, clean buses, a smooth charter process and most of all a safe trip. Bus captains Dave & Marylin Johnson and Rich Lucidi were invaluable and kept the entire group together so well that not one person went missing. That’s not easy when you are in a sea of over 300,000. Yes, 300,000! You wouldn’t know that from the media coverage, or lack thereof, but the counting has been done. More on this later in the week.
