The Ancient Order of Hibernians in America (AOH) was organized in the
United States in nineteenth century New York City by Irish immigrants
who banded together in protection of the Catholic Church. The
AOH in
Ireland was founded in the late seventeenth century for similar reasons
particularly for the protection and preservation of the Catholic Clergy
who were in peril of their lives under the Penal Laws. Today the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in America has Divisions in over forty states;
united with a common dedication to Friendship, Unity and Christian
Charity.
