Founded in 1897, the AIHS is an international center of scholarship, education and cultural enrichment dedicated to promoting the significant, on-going contributions to the United States of America made by Irish immigrants and their descendants. The Society maintains an extensive collection of Irish and American Irish books, newspapers, archives and memorabilia in its landmark headquarters on Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile. Its highly acclaimed literary journal, "The Recorder", chronicles the surging creativity of Irish writers on both sides of the Atlantic. The center sponsors public programs to explore current issues and celebrates the renaissance in Irish culture from its weekly lectures, visual art exhibits and concerts.
The gallery is dedicated to promoting and showcasing emerging contemporary artists from the city of St. Petersburg in Russia. Originally established in 2005 in Saint Petersburg, as an exclusive setting to present works of local artists to a Russian audience, Erarta Galleries has since expanded its vision promoting the reawakening of Russian art and culture to an international audience. Our aim is to free Russian contemporary art from conventionality and stereotypes. In today¹s exciting renaissance of contemporary Russian art, a new generation of artists is emerging, many of whom Erarta Galleries is pleased to exhibit. Different in form, symbolism and technique, this new avant-guarde is characterised by a reinvigorated sense of freedom. Erarta Galleries are present in Saint Petersburg, London, New York and Zurich.

Crawford Doyle Booksellers engenders fierce loyalties among its customers. Its location, between 81st & 82nd Streets on Madison Avenue, makes it an ideal stopping place after visits to the Guggenheim or Jewish Museums or to the Metropolitan Museum around the corner on Fifth Avenue. The New York Social Diary puts it this way: “…amidst fashionable boutiques, art galleries and cafés, sits a veritable book lover’s paradise. Crawford Doyle at first beckons with its well-stocked windows, draws you in with its first editions and art auction catalogues judiciously located in the entrance, and then continues to entice you with its warm wood paneling and tomato bisque walls. The seduction is complete when you begin talking to its employees, several of whom have been there for many years and are truly knowledgeable about what is on offer.” Since 1938, an independent bookstore has held its own on this block of the Upper East Side despite a barrage of superstores, websites, digital books, and other alternatives for people who like to read. Crawford Doyle, which opened its doors in 1995, offers a unique advantage over the behemoths: a friendly, knowledgeable staff eager to share its love of books on a first-hand basis with readers. The small size of the store offers another advantage: only the best books in each field are offered. Whether it is history, literary fiction, a memoir, the latest coffee-table art book, a pop-up book for your ten-year-old, or the latest mystery, Crawford Doyle will have selected the best titles to present. Here’s what one customer says about the story, writing in AM NEW YORK: “Crawford Doyle Booksellers might be my all-time favorite bookstore anywhere. It’s small, it’s well organized. It’s neither quaint nor modern. It has an incredible selection, and mostly I want to buy nearly every book they put on the table. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and I am just envious that they get to work at this fantastic shop.” –CherryPatter

Why do the Philippine Jesuits need your help? As soon as a young man desiring to become a priest enters the Society of Jesus at Sacred Heart Novitiate (SHN), Quezon City, the Philippine Province takes care of his board and lodging, his education and basic formation for the next eleven or twelve years. At the end of this period, the Jesuit is ordained a priest. Because of the desire of the Society of Jesus that this priest or brother becomes an expert in his field, he is usually sent for further studies, called “Special Studies”. Usually, this is a doctorate degree; in some cases, a master’s degree. The “Special Studies” is normally pursued outside the Philippines, often in Europe or the United States, and is funded by the Philippine Province. Once this priest or brother obtains his degree, he is finally assigned to the apostolate. More often than not, he is sent to an educational institution, like the university. Only then does the Philippine Province cease financial support. The educational or other apostolic institutions then provides for his needs. Upon retirement, the Jesuit returns to the auspices of the Philippine Province. The Province provides for board, lodging and medical care, until he dies and is buried at Sacred Heart Novitiate (SHN). And so it is the Philippine Province who takes care of the young man in his formation, stretching for about 16 years, and in retirement, for another 15 - 20 years, until his death and burial at SHN (where he begins and also ends his religious life)—having given all of his life to God! Many alumni of our universities and schools are understandably more than eager to donate to their alma mater, and we thank them for their generosity. Unfortunately, they assume that they are also donating to the Philippine Province --which is not true. That is why we appeal to you that the Philippine Province, not just Jesuit universities and schools, needs your massive support! When you donate, write your check to “Philippine Jesuit Foundation” and at the memo line indicate: “Formation Fund” and/or “Elderly and Infirm Fund”. We thank you for your help.
