About the DOE
Our patron saint is Saint Brigid. The cross that you see throughout our pages is the St. Brigid's cross. It was used to convert pagans to Christianity. Irish tradition brings the idea of offsetting sickness and invoking good luck on the occupants of the house in which the saint's cross is hung. Because of its popularity in Irish homes, Irish TV chose it as its official emblem.
Through our events and activities we are able to raise money to further our charitable work. Each year at Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter we adopt several families and make sure they have a happy holiday. At Easter we prepare baskets for the elderly and orphaned. We have contributed to St. Patrick's Church, The Irish Way, The Shamrock Club, The Dominican Home Health Care, The Holy Rosary Center For Women, The Holy Family Soup Kitchen, Equestrian Therapy, Columbus Christ Child, Irish Political Prisoners Children's Holiday, St. Stephen's Respite, Salesian Boys and Girls Club and Pilot Dogs of Central Ohio. Each year we review the needs in our community and work to give to those in need.
