The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a Catholic, Irish American Fraternal Organization founded in New York City 4 May,1836. The Order can trace its roots back to a parent organization, of the same name, which has existed in Ireland for over 300 years. However, while the organizations share a common thread, the North American A.O.H. is a separate and much larger organization.
Active across the United States, The Order seeks to aid the newly arrived Irish, both socially, politically. The many Divisions and club facilities located throughout the U.S. traditionally have been among the first to welcome new Irish Americans. Here, the Irish culture -- art, dance, music, and sports are fostered and preserved. The newcomers can meet some of "their own" and are introduced to the social atmosphere of the Irish-American community. the AOH has been at the political forefront for issues concerning the Irish, such as; Immigration Reform; economic Incentives both here and in Ireland; the human rights issues addressed in the MacBride Legislation; Right-To-Life; and a peaceful and just solution to the issues that divide Ireland.
The Order has also provided a continuing bridge with Ireland for those who are generations removed from our country.
Our organization seeks to enhance the lives of our members and their families as well as the lives of neighbors in the community and throughout the region, and we do so through the many social, educational, religious and charitable activities we initiate and/or participate in. Our Catholic faith, Irish Heritage and American pride motivate our organization to answer the call of duty of volunteerism and community service.
The Anglesea Irish Society exists to serve as a beacon to those who may not have the courage to stand up for what they believe is right and to lend assistance to those that do. We, as a society, aim to clear the way when needed, even in the face of adversity and to challenge others to do the same.
