A huge congratulations to our very own Beth Greabe Antony! 💜👏

We’re absolutely delighted to share that Irish Network Boston Board Member Elizabeth (Beth) Greabe Antony ’88, P’22, ’25 has been named a recipient of the 2026 In Hoc Signo Award by the College of the Holy Cross Alumni Association!

This prestigious award recognizes alumni who have demonstrated extraordinary and sustained dedication to Holy Cross, its alumni community and its Jesuit mission through leadership, service and volunteerism.

Beth’s contributions to Holy Cross span many years and countless initiatives. She served on the Holy Cross Alumni Association Board of Directors from 2018–2025, including terms as Vice President and Executive Committee member, and continues to serve as an HCAA Senator. She has chaired several alumni committees, founded and served as President of the Holy Cross Club of Nashville, and, alongside her husband Brent, co-chaired the Holy Cross Parents Council.

Beyond her leadership roles, Beth has been a dedicated advocate for the next generation, mentoring students through the College’s Center for Career Development, volunteering in admissions and sharing her experience at the annual Women in Business Conference.

Her commitment to service extends well beyond Holy Cross. As the founder of CAC Consulting, Beth also dedicates her time and expertise to organizations throughout Greater Boston, including the JFK Library Foundation, the Boston College Council for Women, and, of course, Irish Network Boston, where we’re fortunate to have her serving on our Board of Directors.

Those of us who have had the pleasure of working alongside Beth know how generously she gives her time, energy and experience to supporting others and strengthening the communities she’s part of.

Beth, we’re incredibly proud to have you as part of the Irish Network Boston family and thrilled to see your years of dedication and service recognized with this wonderful honor.

Please join us in congratulating Beth on this very well-deserved recognition! 💜

Announcing Our 2026 Spirit of Ireland Award Recipient: Mary Sugrue 🇮🇪

Irish Network Boston is proud to announce Mary Sugrue, President and CEO of the Irish American Partnership, as the recipient of the 2026 Spirit of Ireland Award. Mary will be honored at the Irish Network Boston Spirit of Ireland Gala on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at the historic Harvard Club of Boston.

Born in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, Mary began her career as a primary school teacher in inner-city Dublin before making Boston her home. She joined the Irish American Partnership in 1989 as Executive Secretary and, through decades of dedication and leadership, progressed to become President and CEO in 2016.
During Mary’s time with the organization, the Partnership has raised more than $56 million to support schools, educational programs and young people across the island of Ireland. Her impact extends far beyond her professional role through her steadfast support of Boston’s Irish immigrant, cultural and community organizations.

Mary’s remarkable career reflects the values at the heart of the Spirit of Ireland Award: leadership, service, generosity, perseverance and an enduring commitment to strengthening the relationship between Ireland and the United States.

Join us at the Harvard Club of Boston for an unforgettable evening featuring a cocktail reception, open bar, plated dinner, award presentation and live entertainment alongside more than 200 leaders, professionals and community partners.

Early-bird member tickets are available for $250 through September 30. Members should log in to the Irish Network Boston membership portal to access the discounted rate. https://lnkd.in/evCZeQAz

Sponsorship opportunities are also now available.
We look forward to celebrating Mary and her extraordinary contribution to Irish-American life on December 3. 🇮🇪🇺🇸

Last night, we were honored to partner with Project Children and the Irish Cultural Centre for a special screening of How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story!

The documentary tells the remarkable story of how one act of kindness grew into a movement that gave more than 23,000 children from Northern Ireland the chance to experience peace, friendship, and hope during some of the darkest years of The Troubles.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, Ambassador Claire Cronin, Aidan McKenna Regional Director of Enterprise Ireland to the Americas, Cathaoirleach of Monaghan Co.Council Aidan Campbell, CEO of Monaghan Co.Council Robert Burns, and to our special guest Denis Mulcahy, whose vision and unwavering dedication changed thousands of lives. It was a privilege to hear first-hand reflections on the legacy of Project Children and the lasting impact this extraordinary initiative continues to have today.

Events like these remind us of the power of community, compassion, and the enduring connection between Ireland and the United States!

Thank you to our partners Linda & Catherine at Project Children, the UMass Club for hosting, to everyone who helped make the evening possible, and all who came out to support this important story.

🇮🇪🇺🇸

You don’t have to be Irish, or a cyclist, to be entertained and inspired by Mark and Ellie’s story.

From tall tales of both critter and human encounters to an over-honest assessment of the toilets of the world, Mark Graham and Ellie O’Byrne bring an entertaining account of their global circumnavigation by bike to the intimate backroom stage of The Burren Bar Somerville this Saturday!
