Inspired by the need to promote young Irish-Americans; in the fields of business, labor and government including police and fire, law and judicial, “The Irish Society” was conceived in the fall of 1974.
The Irish Society was formed to promote Irish heritage and help those needing assistance in the fields of education, industry, the trades, law & order and public service. Our mission is to assist with guidance through networking, contributions when possible and building relationships.
We are a non-profit Irish American association made up of descendants of County Mayo, Ireland. The association was founded in 1905.
The association donates to a number of charities in the Philadelphia area, County Mayo, and other parts of the world. We have worked with other organizations in contributing to the construction of Knock Shrine and Knock Airport in County Mayo, the Galway Cathedral, and The Irish Memorial at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia. Over the years we have helped organizations assisting physically and mentally challenged children such as Western Care, Aras Attracta in County Mayo, and Saint John of God in Westville, New Jersey. The association's principal fundraising event is our Annual Mayo Ball held on the first Saturday in November.
