JOHN DWYER, JR.
GRAND MARSHAL
2013 ST PATRICK’S PARADE
John H. Dwyer Jr., Grand Marshal of the 2013 St. Patrick’s
Day Parade, was born in 1973 in Kingston, NY, to John Sr. (Grand Marshal 2008),
and Teresa (Serravallo) Dwyer.
John and his wife, Katy (Fiandaca) Dwyer, an LAOH member, are parents of Annabelle Mae (age 4) and Margaret Johanna (age 23 months), and are parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church in Kingston, NY.
John Jr. has a younger brother, Denis, a sister-in-law, Valerie (Arold) Dwyer, a niece, Molly (age 7), and a nephew, Andrew (age 4).
John Jr. graduated from The Ohio State University in 1997, with a B.F.A. in Photography, and is currently Vice President at the Quilty, Dwyer & Larkin Insurance Agency in Kingston. John’s wife Katy also works in Kingston as a Graphic Designer. Prior to the insurance field, John worked in Technical Support and e-commerce development for Unique Photo in New Jersey, where he and Katy first met. John also worked as a Production Designer on independent films throughout Manhattan and the Hudson Valley.
John has continued to serve as a member of the City of Kingston Planning Board for over 5 years.
The Dwyer family history in America began with the arrival of John’s Great Great Grandfather, Denis Dwyer, in 1851, who emigrated from the village of Clogheen in County Tipperary, and settled in the Rondout area. The Dwyer family businesses and enterprises of the mid 19th and early 20th centuries have been well documented, and their contributions to the financial and industrial growth of Kingston consisted of barge building and tug operations, banking, brick making, and ice harvesting along the Hudson River.
John is a founding member
and Vice President of the Irish Cultural Center Hudson Valley and for over two
years has been passionately involved in the project’s conception and
development. The facility, to be constructed in the Rondout area of Kingston,
will serve as a place for social gatherings, step dancing instruction, musical
performances, historical exhibits, education, and much more, all with a
concentration in Irish Culture. The ICCHV project has already established itself
within the Irish community throughout upstate New York, Manhattan and beyond,
and is expected to bring international recognition to the history of the Irish
in the Hudson Valley.

the St. Patrick’s Parade has been a tradition in Erin’s family, including
participating in the Shamrock Run and ending the day with corned beef and
cabbage at her Nana’s (Elsie Leirey) house. Erin is honored to be chosen as the

PATTY CLAUSI
MAYOR OF THE DAY
2013 ST PATRICK’S PARADE
Born in Massachusetts, a Kingstonian for 47 years, a proud
member of the Ladies AOH, Patricia Sullivan Clausi, daughter of Philip and Joan
Sullivan, comes from a large, loving, supportive family. Sisters and brothers
are Kathy, Tommy, Mary, Kevin, Brenda, Joan, Irene and Eileen. First and
foremost, mother of Aimee, Michael, Meghan, Thomas, Emily and Mark. Pat is the
proud grandmother of Ethan & Carson Parks, Hallie Gardner and Alex & Ella
Hasbrouck.
Patricia has worked at St. Mary’s Church Kingston for 15 years, mostly under Fr.
Ed Burke, where she has learned much about humility, community and concern for
those in need. As the AOH worked together to erect a monument at St. Mary’s in
honor of those who perished during the Great Irish Famine, Pats pride in her
heritage, Hibernians and community grew deeply. Working with Assemblyman Kevin
Cahill, as he secured a $2 million state grant to renovate a historic building,
which would be home to ABCD Daycare, Catholic Charities and Ulster County CYO
offices and first ever gymnasium, was one of her proudest moments. As fire
ravaged the building, Pats faith grew as she watched the State, the Archdiocese,
and of course Carey Construction, work together to build it as new.
Pat says she tries to live by Mother Theresa’s words, “We can do no great thing,
only things with great love.”
