The O Mahony Society’s 70th Anniversary North American Celebration!
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA
7-9 November, 2025
The O Mahony Society Council is proud to invite you to a milestone celebration in one of America’s most iconic Irish cities.
Join us in Boston—where Irish heritage runs deep—for a weekend filled with kinship, history, and unforgettable experiences!
Boston’s Irish story began centuries ago and gained momentum during the mid-19th century, when the Great Famine brought
tens of thousands of Irish immigrants to its shores. Today, over 20% of Bostonians claim Irish ancestry, making it a living tribute
to the spirit and resilience of Ireland. There’s no better place to mark our 70th anniversary in North America!
This event is open to O Mahony Society Members and the General Public. O Mahony Society Membership is strongly encouraged but not required.
