The Ancient Order of Hibernians is pleased to share exciting news with our members and friends: the release of Our Friend, Saint Patrick, the newest title in the acclaimed Our Friend series of Catholic children’s books—published with full ecclesiastical approval (Nihil Obstat & Imprimatur) by Amici Santi.
This special edition is particularly meaningful to the AOH, as it features a foreword by our National Chaplain, Very Reverend Martin O’Reilly. We are honored to collaborate on a project that presents the life of Ireland’s patron saint to young readers with faithfulness, clarity, and reverence.
Supporting the Charitable Mission of the AOH
We are especially grateful that a majority of the proceeds from sales of Our Friend, Saint Patrick between now and Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, will directly support the charitable initiatives of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
By purchasing this book, families not only invest in the faith formation of their children—they also support our mission of Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity that defines our Order.
