2010 Grand Marshal

Sister Marion Scranton

Sister of Charity

CONGRATULATIONS SISTER MARION

Sister Marion is well known for her outstanding work in education as a teacher
and principal as well as for her ministry, community outreach and her volunteerism.
She is currently Director of Community Initiatives for Trinitas Regional Medical Center
in Elizabeth. “We are pleased and honored to have Sister Marion leading us in our tribute
to St. Patrick,” said Jim Lowney, 2010 Parade General Chairman. Sister Marion traces her
Irish roots to County Leitrim in the Midwest of Ireland. She has visited the Emerald Isle
several times and studied at All Hallows in Dublin for Sabbatical in 1999. “I am certainly
humbled and honored to have been chosen to be Grand Marshal,” said Sister Marion. “My parents
fostered in us a love and pride of all things Irish.” This year’s parade will feature a marching
division named for the Sisters of Charity. “The founder of the Sisters of Charity in New Jersey
was from Skibbereen in County Cork,” added the Grand Marshal. “I know she will be looking down
on us as we celebrate and honor St. Patrick.” Irish American Society of Union nominated
Sister Marion for Grand Marshal and she was elected unanimously by representatives of the 17
parade committee member organizations and parade officers. Sister Marion will be officially
installed as Grand Marshal during an Investiture Mass on Sunday, January 31 at 3 p.m.
in St Michael's Church located at 1212 Kelly Street in Union. The Grand Marshal’s reception
will follow at 4:30 at the Knights of Columbus Council 4504 at 1034 Jeanette Avenue in Union.
