The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Providence

Our group is one of the oldest Irish-American fraternal organizations in the United States. And we’re looking for new members: people who are interested in Irish heritage, like to enjoy themselves, and want to help others.

What do we do?

Many people know of our Annual Dinner (always held on the High Holy Day itself!). Our charity golf tournament is scheduled for this June at Fenner Hill. Contact Tom Sweeney at 273-2270 for details.

The Friendly Sons also looks for other worthy causes to support. We recently presented a check for the proceeds of a “Half-Way to St. Patrick’s Day” event to Friends Forever, an organization that promotes peace in Northern Ireland by bringing teenagers from that area together for a program here in America.

If you think you might like to join us, check out the Application on this web-site. Slainte!

The two links below will bring you into the detailed history of the friendly sons.
