Maine Irish Heritage Center

Volunteer Opportunity!

The Maine Irish Heritage Center is looking for volunteers to keep the center open during the summer months.   We will  have the  official opening of the summer season on June 16th

We are in the process of filling out our schedule and would love to hear from you.  We would like to have you volunteer. This is a great opportunity to meet old friends, make new ones, learn some history of Portland, and share your love and excitement of the Old St. Dominic’s Church and the Maine Irish Heritage Center.  No experience is necessary as we will provide training

Please contact Sue DeRoche, MIHC Volunteer Coordinator, at 780-0118 or irishhc@maine.rr.com and leave your name, telephone number - Thank you!

This whimsical and extravagant event is back and better than ever! Children and adults will enjoy a traditional tea service by Nellie's Teas while learning about Victorian customs and etiquette. There will be delicious gourmet cupcakes and live music by Brian Callaghan. Ballerinas from Portland Ballet will be on hand to give lessons and display costumes. Adults and children are eligible for a variety of door and raffle prizes including stunning centerpieces by designer Sandy Riley, a Victorian birthday party, custom-made doll clothing by Sandra Gilley, two new American Girl Dolls, and a furnished dollhouse! Each child will receive an activity book and have the chance to be crowned one of our Tea Royalty. Afterwards, children are invited to tour the Victoria Mansion and see custom dolls created by doll-maker Marion Bunton. Guests of the Doll Tea are encouraged to bring their own dolls to the event!
Tea at the Maine Irish Heritage Center at 1pm and afternoon tours at a doll-filled Victoria Mansion afterwards!
