You are cordially invited to attend the Annual St. Patrick’s Society Annual Charity Ball to be held on Friday, March 1st, 2024. 

Started in 1834 the Annual Charity Ball is Montreal’s longest running social event and is an opportunity for Irish Montrealers and their friends to come together to celebrate the official opening of “The Irish Season”.

We are absolutely thrilled to have as our Guest of Honour Mr. James Maloney MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and Member of Parliament for Etobicoke-Lakeshore. Mr. Maloney was instrumental in having the month of March recognized as Irish Heritage Month in Canada.

We are also pleased to announce that our Honorary Chairman for the Charity Ball will be Patrick Shea,  a Partner at McCarthy Tétrault, and a Society past president with extensive community involvement.

Tickets pricing will be made public in the coming weeks.

Please note that the dress code for this event is black tie; this includes ball gowns and tuxedos or business suits.

The St. Patrick’s Society of Montreal was founded in 1834 and is one of the oldest cultural and charitable organizations in Canada. The chief purpose of the Society is to support Montreal’s Irish community via charitable, cultural and educational endeavours. This year will mark our 190th anniversary.

The monies raised at the Ball and our other events support our charitable, cultural and educational mission. One of the ways we raise monies to support our mission the Ball’s Patrons’ Fund. Please consider donating to the Ball’s Patrons’ Fund. Donations of all sizes are welcome. As the Society is a registered charity, an official tax receipt will be issued to you for the full amount. Lastly all donors are recognized as “Patrons” of the event in our printed program for the evening plus all donors attending the Ball are invited to a special VIP pre-dinner cocktail reception.
