FÁILTE / WELCOME

Is sinne Cumann Carad na Gaeilge. Sa 19ú haois, nuair a bunaíodh ár gcumann, ba í "grá na Gaeilge" an chiall do "Philo-Celtic" i measc na nGael i Meiriceá.

Thosaigh Mícheál Ó Lócháin ár ngníomhaíochtaí le ranganna Gaeilge i mBrúiclinn i 1872 agus ár n-iris "An Gaodhal" i 1881, agus sa dóigh sin bhunaigh sé an ghluaiseacht Ghaeilge i Meiriceá. Idir 1872 agus 1893, d'fhás ár n-eagraíocht, ár gcraobhacha, agus cumainn neamhspleácha le "Philo-Celtic" orthu ar fud Mheiriceá. Tugadh "The Gaelic League" ar ár ranganna. Tháinig Dubhghlas de hÍde go Nua Eabhrac chun ár n-eagraíocht agus ár ranganna a fheiceáil i 1891. I 1893, bhain sé áis as ár gCumann mar a shamhail chun Conradh na Gaeilge a bhunú in Éirinn. An ghlúin ar mhúin Conradh na Gaeilge dóibh idir 1893 agus 1916, ba í an ghlúin í sin a chuaigh chun tosaigh i dtionscnamh stáit nua-aimseartha na hÉireann.

Fuair Mícheál Ó Lócháin bás i 1899. Scoir foilsitheoireacht "An Gaodhal" i 1904. Mheathlaigh ár n-eagraíocht tríd an fichiú haois. Ach táimid ar ais anois, ag obair do athbheochan na Gaeilge ar fud an domhain. Má's maith leat oibriú linn, téigh i dteagmháil linn.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

We are The Philo-Celtic Society. In the 19th century, when our society was founded, the meaning of 'Philo-Celtic' for the Gaeil in America was "love of the Irish language".

Mícheál Ó Lócháin started our activities with Irish language classes in Brooklyn in 1872 and our magazine "An Gaodhal" in 1881, and in that way he founded the Irish Language movement in America. Between 1872 and 1893, our organization, our branches, and independent "Philo-Celtic" societies grew throughout America. Our classes were called "The Gaelic League." Douglas Hyde came to New York to see our organization and our classes in 1891. In 1893, he used our organization and our classes as his model to found The Gaelic League in Ireland. The generation which The Gaelic League taught between 1893 and 1916, that was the generation which led in the establishment of the modern state of Ireland.

Mícheál Ó Lócháin died in 1899. "An Gaodhal" ceased publication in 1904. Our organization declined through the 20th century. But we're back, working for the renaissance of the Irish language throughout the world. If you want to work with us, contact us.
