Maureen Mohney

Profession and company: IT Systems Administrator for the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.

How do you celebrate your Irishness? In everyday activities, including participation with the Cleveland St. Pat’s-St. Jarlath’s GAA as a Board Member, Gaelic Footballer and Camogie Player; as a Deputy Director on the St. Patricks’ Day Parade Committee of the United Irish Societies of Greater Cleveland; and active membership with the LAOH Our Lady of the Rosary Division, the Irish American Club – East Side and West Side Irish American Club.  I also enjoy Irish foods, music and traveling to Ireland.

Name a hero you admire and why? My mom, of course!  It wasn’t always easy, but the sacrifices she made throughout the years surrounding home, school and work shaped me and my siblings to the strong, independent people we are today with a deep connection to our Irish heritage.
