Our Mission
The Ancient Order of Hibernians is an Irish-American fraternal organization that consists of practicing Roman Catholics that are Irish born, or of Irish descent, and citizens of the United States of America. The motto of our organization is “Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity”. The traditions of Ireland are celebrated throughout the year in various ways to proudly support our Irish-American heritage.
