~ The Irish Pastoral Centre (IPC) in Dorchester has been a vital resource for Irish immigrants in the Greater Boston area since its establishment in 1987. Founded by Fr. Dan Finn, the center continues to fulfill its mission of providing assistance to those who are new to the country.

As a non-profit organization, the IPC offers a wide range of services including legal, social, educational, and spiritual support to immigrants of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. This support is crucial in helping newcomers adjust to their new lives in a foreign country.

One of the center's most notable programs is its Senior Programming, which caters specifically to older adults. Through this program, seniors can participate in various activities such as weekly wellness calls and the Friday Fish and Chips Supper Club. The Bumble Bee Knitting Club also meets every Thursday from 11am-1pm, welcoming individuals of all skill levels.

The center also offers free health insurance counseling through its SHINE (serving the health insurance needs of everyone) Counselor on site.
