📢 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: The New Digital Home of The Irish Memorial is LIVE! ☘️

After months of careful planning and meticulous effort, we are incredibly proud to unveil our brand new website at irishmemorial.org, beautifully designed by Coleraine Design

This extraordinary platform honors the legacy of An Gorta Mór and the enduring spirit of the Irish diaspora. It is a powerful educational beacon where you can explore immersive historical galleries, immigrant stories, and the rich heritage of the Philadelphia Irish community.

Today also marks a monumental step for our future. As we welcome visitors to our temporary Spruce Street location, we are officially launching our $1.1 Million Prepare for the Journey Home Capital Campaign!

These vital funds will secure our safe relocation to the new Park at Penn's Landing, elevate our educational exhibits, and build a permanent endowment to preserve Glenna Goodacre's masterpiece for generations to come.

We invite you to experience the new site, share it with your friends, and consider making a charitable contribution to help us protect this vital piece of our shared history. Every single donation makes a profound difference.

🌐 Explore the new site: irishmemorial.org

Fáilte go dtí Cuimhneachán na nGael!

Our Irish community is heavily represented in the Philadelphia Building Trades. We are saddened by today’s horrible events in Grays Ferry. We pray for all those affected, and pray for those in the trades community. May you find comfort and strength within and know we are here for you during this difficult time.
