is a private organization dedicated to the principles of brotherhood, charity and community service. Since the founding of the organization in 1771, the society has maintained a tradition of openness to Irish as well as non-Irish men of goodwill, without regard to ethnic or religious origin. As the society moves into the new millennium our membership continues to grow and our commitment to the founding principles and traditions is strong.

With God's blessing we look forward to another century of fraternity and service.

Abe Lincoln was in Cincinnati & made a speech as he ran for President on 5th Street. He's on the balcony to the right of the picture.  This was in 1859, ten years before our first Friendly Sons Of St. Patrick Banquet.
