The Society ofThe Friendly Sons of St. Patrickin The City of New York
Founded in 1784 by Irishmen who came together to provide assistance and support to their fellow countrymen in the adjustment to life in the new world, The Society of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick in the City of New York is the oldest charitable institution in the city. We carry on the traditions of our founders by focusing our charitable efforts in three areas within the City of New York: education, Irish Arts & Culture, and, in keeping with our origins, legal immigration services. The Society holds several events throughout the year for the purposes of charitable fundraising and social engagement amongst our membership.

The Women's Committee Luncheon in support of our Scholarship Program
Approximately one hundred and fifty supporters and guests gathered at a private club in New York City on Wednesday, October 16 for the third Annual Luncheon of the Women's Committee of the Society of the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick in the City of New York. The Society is one of the oldest charitable organizations in New York State. It embraces its historical mission by focusing its charitable efforts on primary and secondary education, Irish arts and culture, and legal immigration assistance. Proceeds from this luncheon support the Friendly Sons Scholars Program which is administered in partnership with the Inner-City Scholarship Fund. Guests enjoyed an entertaining talk by Jamie MacGuire, author of Real Lace Revisited: Inside the Hidden World of America's Irish Aristocracy. Gifts and a benefactor prize were kindly donated by Asprey of London. Very Reverend Enrique Salvo, Rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, offered the opening prayer.
