2023 Grand Marshall, Fr. Brendan Fitzgerald
Fr. Fitzgerald was born in Rockaway, NY, the son of Irish immigrants from County Kerry. He attended Maynooth Seminary in Kildare and in his pastoral year, he served St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta. He was ordained in 2000 in Limerick and after serving for five years as a priest in Ireland, he returned to the U.S. in 2006.
He is currently the pastor of St. Barnabas Church (Bronx, NY) a strong Irish-American parish in the Woodlawn-McLean Avenue area, and also serves as the Dean of the North East Bronx at the appointment of Cardinal Timothy Dolan. During his time at Saint Barnabas he has become Chaplain to the FDNY Emerald Society, FDNY Holy Name Society, FDNY G.A.A., United Emerald Societies, New York State AOH, and the New York GAA as well as Chaplain of the Kerry Association. The Parade Board recognizes Fr. Fitzgerald’s contribution to the greater St. Barnabas neighborhood in Yonkers and Woodlawn. He is a well-respected presence in southeast Yonkers since becoming Pastor, and has demonstrated great leadership and involvement in the broader community.
