About Irish Language Society of Boston
Cumann na Gaeilge i mBoston is Boston’s Irish language society. We are dedicated to preserving — and promoting — the Irish language and the culture or Ireland.
Article III of the Cumann na Gaeilge i mBoston Constitution (originally adopted on April 9, 1974), states that “In order to preserve and extend the use of the Irish language, the Society shall develop and maintain an educational center including a school with curriculum, faculty and regularly enrolled student body, together with a library of books and recordings of Irish language; shall cooperate with and assist the Massachusetts Department of Education and/or colleges, universities or other educational organizations in enrollment, curriculum and faculty development for Irish studies; shall assist with and participate in Irish language programs in educational radio and television; shall be of general assistance to public education by providing or recommending a bureau of lecturers, tutors and panelists; and shall promote the use of Irish language by fostering Irish theater and other cultural activities that furnish opportunities for language practice.”
