The Society of Commodore John Barry, USN (aka The Irish Center) is to sponsor and support programs and activities in the Delaware Valley (includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware) which celebrate and promote Irish art, culture, and heritage.
We’ve created a welcoming atmosphere to both Irish and non-Irish individuals and offer a wide selection of cultural, educational, & social programs and activities structured to appeal to a diverse audience. The Irish Center serves as the home for any number of Irish organizations and societies including the Philadelphia Ceili Group, Danny Browne AOH Division 80, and the Cummins School of Irish Dance. Lessons in Irish music and dance for adults and children are held weekly. A traditional Irish music session is held most Friday evenings.
For more information about scheduled events you can review the calendar or e-mail: jbarry11@verizon.net.
Meeting and Banquet Facilities -The Center also provides meeting and banquet facilities. We can accommodate groups ranging from 25 to 550 people. Consider hosting your next event, be it a bridal or baby shower, a christening, birthday or graduation party, wedding reception, or fund raising affair, at the Irish Center.
