Sons of Erin Division 1 currently meets the Third Thursday of each month at St. Matthew Catholic Church from 7pm-8pm.
Rumor has it that there are occasional Pre-meeting discussions at a local public house. Brothers somehow bump into one another after meetings at Mary O’Neill’s in Waxhaw, too, we’re told. Attendance at all three is strongly encouraged!
