The Ancient Order of Hibernians in America [AOH] is an Irish Catholic men's organization [and the LAOH is an Irish Catholic women's organization]. The AOH was originated in the United States in nineteenth century New York City by Irish immigrants who banded together in protection of the Church. The AOH in Ireland was formed in the fourteenth century for many of the same reasons.

The goal of every division in the United States and elsewhere is the same; Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity. Our efforts are for promotion of the Faith and a free and united Ireland.

Members of this AOH Division are also members of the Hibernian Foundation, which is the organization that owns the buildings and property. Application to the Foundation is open to all ethnic backgrounds and both genders.
