Welcome to the AOH National Website!
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. > Learn more

Marching Since 1955, Seamus Boyle Gets to Wear the Top Hat in The 2010 Philadelphia St. Patrick's Day Parade

This year is no exception. But this year's parade is going to be extra-special for the burly, low-key Boyle, a resident of the Academy Gardens neighborhood in the Northeast. He'll be marching at the head of the parade as grand marshal. > More

2009 Ireland Flood Relief Appeal

Dear Brother Hibernians
Following one of the wettest summers on record in Ireland and rainfalls in November and December 2009 that have been nothing short of catastrophic, conditions caused by flooding have reached a level of devastation that actually parallels that encountered by New Orleans and the Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
