The Ancient Order of Hibernians

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) is a centuries-old Irish Catholic organization that promotes Irish heritage, culture, and community service. Founded in the mid-19th century, it helps preserve Irish traditions, supports Irish independence, and provides charitable aid. Members, often of Irish descent or heritage, meet regularly to foster camaraderie, assist those in need, and advocate for social justice. The organization emphasizes faith, patriotism, and cultural pride, functioning as both a social fraternity and a service organization rooted in principles of charity and community involvement.
