Do you have Irish heritage?
The Birmingham Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians is holding an informational meeting at the Our Lady of Sorrows Assembly Hall on Thursday, November 19 at 7.00pm. Refreshments will be provided.
The Hibernians are the largest Irish Catholic organization in the country. It is a men's charitable and fraternal organization with membership throughout the U.S. The American organization was founded in 1836 in New York and traces its roots to 16th century Ireland.
Since its inception, the Hibernians have been at the forefront of promoting Irish Catholic culture and causes in the States. The group's motto and primary mission is to promote "Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity."
Membership is available to males over the age of 16 who are Roman Catholic and Irish by descent or birth. Please contact Dan Murphy at dmurphy8@gmail.com for more information.
