The Philo-Celtic Society (Irish: Cumann Carad na Gaeilge) is a North American society founded as part of the Gaelic revival in 1873. Its aims are the promotion of the Irish language as a living tongue in America and throughout the world, and the re-establishment of Irish as the spoken language of Ireland with English as a supplement. The society was one of several that had their genesis in letters published in the Irish-American journal The Irish World in 1872 by Mícheál Ó Lócháin, recommending that Irish language classes and Irish language organizations be established. Ó Lócháin, a teacher by profession, started the first such class (instruction for adults) in Brooklyn in 1872. Formal societies followed: the Boston Philo-Celtic Society in 1873 and the Brooklyn Philo-Celtic Society in 1874. The New York City Philo-Celtic Society was founded in 1878, eventually giving rise to the present society. Father Dennis J. O'Donovan was an honorary member of the Boston society. More information...
