It is with deep regret that I report that Father Edward Storck died on June 12,
2017. Father Storck was the Chaplain for the New Castle County Irish Society
for over 20 years and he enjoyed offering Mass every year to start our annual
Fest. He was a dear friend to everyone
at our club and his quick wit and smiling face will be sadly missed at the
Irish Center.
