The Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick is a non-profit organization founded in 1941 to increase awareness of the cultural achievements of people of Irish descent in America. The organization has been serving the Everett Community since 1954 and has had such distinguished guests as then-Senator John F. Kennedy in 1958, as well as a wide array of governors, senators and other distinguished public servants.
