Central Ohio's Largest Irish-American Women's Organization
"American by birth, Irish by the grace of God!"

Picture
The Daughters of Erin was a dream that became a reality on October 15, 1978. Ten Irish-American women met at St. Patrick's social hall to form what has become central Ohio's largest Irish-American women's organization.

Upon inception, these women envisioned an organization that would perpetuate Irish music, culture, history and customs, as well as providing assistance for those in need, regardless of race, creed or religion. With persistence and hard work, their dream became a successful reality.

Since 1978, the Daughters of Erin has become a viable force within the community, raising more than $650,000 for local, national and international charities. Dedicated, caring women have achieved these efforts. We have devoted unselfishly of our time and talent by holding parties, bake sales, yard sales and raffles.

The Daughters of Erin Irish Theater Project was created to showcase plays about Irish heritage. This established the funding for the D.O.E. College Scholarship.

The Daughters of Erin also participates with local Irish organizations in parades, festivals, picnics and other cultural events. In 2005 we started an Irish Tea Room set up at the Dublin Irish Festival.

These events allow the Daughters of Erin to adopt families during the Thanksgiving  Christmas holidays, providing food, clothing and gifts to local needy families. We offer an Ireland visit to member's families through the Irish Experience Program - a six-week study program offered to high school students interested in studying their heritage and culture. Some of the other humanitarian efforts include entertaining senior citizens, handicapped and homeless children through their own Clown Unit and Columbus Celtic Chorus.

Irish Legend of the Seven Sisters of Blarney Castle

In Medieval times the King of Blarney Castle had nine children, two boys and seven girls.
The neighboring kingdom was stealing their cattle, so they went to war. Our King and his children were victorious but his two sons were killed in battle.
The King was so distraught he toppled two of the nine standing stones on the property in honor of his lost sons.
