St. Brendan's Gaelic Football Club was founded in 2001 and named after the Patron Saint of County Kerry, Ireland. Stephen O'Shea, formerly from County Kerry, had a dream to start a Gaelic Football club for the children of his community. Thanks to him and eight other founding members who joined this venture to serve the youth of their Orange County communities. Stephen's dream began taking shape and the due diligence necessary to secure a home playing field commenced. Through the assistance and support of the visionary Town , Board members from the neighboring town of Blooming Grove, St. Brendan's soon had a pitch to call home located within Gonzaga Park at 379 Seven Springs Mountain Road in Monroe.
