IRISH ORGANIZATIONS

Ancient Order of Hibernians

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) is the oldest Catholic lay organization in America, formed in New York in 1836.  The early AOH in America remained a secret society that provided a monetary stipend to immigrants and they assisted Irish immigrants in obtaining jobs and social services.  Today AOH members are at the forefront of support for issues concerning the Irish, such as Emigration Reform, MacBride Legislation, and the Right to Life.  The ycan always be found actively lobbying for, praying for, and working for the total independence of a united 32-county Ireland, as their constitution avows: "by all means constitutional and lawful."

Friendly Sons of St Patrick
The organization exists "to pay tribute to the patron saint of Ireland and to foster goodwill and fellowship among those or Irish descent in San Diego County. We are a collective group of charitable, professional, civic minded, community spirited individuals who band together under the banner of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick for no other reason than to celebrate the fact that this group of Americans of Irish descent are a pretty damn good bunch of companions to swap tall tales, legends and down right lies with.
