Black Tie Dinner

This popular black tie event celebrates St. Patrick’s Day and always promises to attract a great crowd with a best of its kind cocktail hour, dinner and entertainment. Proceeds from the dinner provide educational grants for deserving college-bound high school seniors of Irish heritage and other charitable endeavors. This year our Dinner joins similar events to include any and all people who enjoy celebrating being Irish, including women.

The Irishman of the Year,  Order of St. Brendan Award and the Commodore Barry Award winners are honored during the dinner. The Order of St. Brendan honors native born sons of Ireland who have added to the luster of their Irish heritage here in the United States. The Commodore Barry award honors citizens for extraordinary acts in honor of America.

The contributions from the Dinner Journal ads have assisted the FSSP in providing countless Brother Peter Mannion Memorial Grants to deserving graduating high school seniors of Irish descent. The FSSP has awarded more than $800,000 in grants over the years and we’ve had well over 12,000 people look through our ad journal.
