In 1902, a group of Irishmen formed The Irish Fellowship
Club of Chicago to preserve and promote their heritage. They dedicated
themselves to continuing the celebration of St. Patrick's Day in
Chicago and sharing their Irish Culture and values with the citizens
of our beloved city—Chicago.
While promoting friendship and fellowship among the members of
the club, the ideals and traditions of their Irish ancestry became
a part of the new traditions of Chicago. Today the club continues,
through its many programs and events, to uphold and expand on the
objectives of its founders.
The leadership of the club has always reflected the membership
of the club representing people from all walks of life and in the
forefront of their communities giving back to the City of Chicago,
making it a great city. The legacy and fellowship of the club has
passed down through generations making The Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago the city's oldest and most celebrated Irish organization.
On October 6, 2001 The Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago gathered
in the ballroom at Navy Pier for a spectacular celebration of its
100th year.
