Sr Alacoque, Parade Marshall
We are honoured to announce that Sr Alacoque, who has made a tremendous contribution to the community, will be our Parade Marshall.

Sr. Alacoque Gleeson will lead all the pageantry in March as Ballinasloe celebrates with one of largest St. Patrick’s Day parades in county Galway. 

Sr. Alacoque, is a native of Blueball, Co Offaly is a Mercy Sister, and was Director of Ballinasloe Social Services’ Day Care Centre from 1982 – 2009, when she retired from her nursing post with the HSE. She has been on the Board since 1982 and was Chairperson from 2003 -2006. She remained a member of the Board until 2019. She continues to have a keen interest in Ballinasloe Social Services and helps out in various fundraising events during the year, along with being an active member of the local community

Participants may choose from FIVE categories including:
  • Education
  • Culture
  • Sporting
  • Voluntary and
  • Commercial.
There will be valuable cash prizes to be won in each category with an overall award of the Tony Colohan Perpetual Commemoration Trophy.
 
The organisers are appealing to the local business community to assist with sponsoring the cost of the parade.
 
We encourage the local Schools, Sports Clubs, Voluntary Organisations, Dancing Schools, Musicians and Businesses to take part in the parade.
 
It gives us all the opportunity to showcase all of the positive aspects that our town and surrounding areas have to offer.
 
So come along to the Ballinasloe Parade and help to make it a special day of celebration, and a fun day for all of the family.
