back to its founding in Philadelphia in 1771; initially established to
aid Irish immigrants, the organization has evolved over the centuries to
include a wide range of cultural, educational, and charitable
activities; and

 WHEREAS, The society's enduring legacy is rooted in its commitment
to fostering ties between Ireland and the United States while supporting
