The Ireland Funds Canada is thrilled to support the University of Toronto’s University of St Michael’s College in presenting this year’s St Patrick’s Day Luncheon on March 7.
The event remains a must-attend on the non-profit social calendar, 41 years since our first luncheon in 1983.
The Ireland Funds Canada is a non-political, non-sectarian, philanthropic organization that funds community-level projects throughout the island of Ireland and in Canada. We connect people of Irish heritage to bring positive change within Canada and Ireland, shaping culture, reconciliation and enhancing education.
The 2025 St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon will once again be in support of University of Toronto’s University of St. Michael’s College. St. Michael’s has long been a beacon for the Celtic community in Toronto. Its Celtic Studies program includes history, languages and culture, through a series of open lectures, social gatherings and sport.
