Celebrating Irish Heritage in San Antonio, Texas, USA

Our Society is Non-Sectarian, Charitable, Cultural, Civic, Educational, Patriotic, and Social.

On a cool, dry, evening in October 1966, at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, two professors and a graduate student met to inaugurate confraternity and a society which would involve persons of Irish nationality or heritage to do honor to the land of their forefathers. An Irish born professor, Dr. Seán Burke; a San Antonio native, third generation, graduate student and retired Air Force Colonel, Joseph B. McShane; and a New York City, first generation, scientist and instructor at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, Patrick J. Dowd, together planned the goals of an Irish Society.



Plans are under way for our 2009 events. This year promises to be better than ever.
