The Ancient Order of Hibernians in America is the largest Irish Catholic fraternal organization in the United States. Founded in New York City in 1836 by Irish immigrants to protect the Catholic Church and clergy from attacks from nativists. Today, we still uphold Catholic teaching, work for a free and united 32-county Ireland, lobby for fair Irish immigration policy, and engage our communities for charitable acts.
