Who We Are and What We Do

 

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) is a Catholic, Irish-American fraternal organization.

The United States-based AOH was founded in New York City in 1836 and traces its roots to Ireland's AOH, which was founded over 300 years ago. The AOH's initial goal, both in Ireland and in the United States, was to protect the Church and clergy fro

 

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) is a Catholic, Irish-American fraternal organization.

The United States-based AOH was founded in New York City in 1836 and traces its roots to Ireland's AOH, which was founded over 300 years ago. The AOH's initial goal, both in Ireland and in the United States, was to protect the Church and clergy from anti-Catholic sentiment. In the 1830's, anti-Irish/anti-Catholic sentiment was extremely prevalent. AOH members guarded the Churches and nearby communities from attack by bigoted organizations such as the "Know-Nothings".

The AOH in America grew quickly during the 1840's as a result of massive Irish immigration occurring at that time. The immigration was driven mainly by Ireland's terrible "Great Famine".

Today, the AOH serves the Irish and Irish-American communities through charitable and community service works. The AOH Syracuse Division helps support charitable organizations in the Syracuse area and throughout the world. We foster and promote Irish culture including music, dance, sports, history, and language. Currently, the AOH Syracuse Division has approximately 310 members.

As always, the AOH is at the forefront of many Irish-related issues such as immigration and the MacBride Legislation. The AOH's Freedom for All Ireland Committee works for a peaceful and just resolution to the issues that divide Ireland today.

The finest, brightest, and biggest Irish-based organization in the United States welcomes all who are Irish-born or are of Irish descent!

The Irish NAtional Anthem

A Soldier's Song

Amhran na bhFiann

A Soldier's Song

  

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,

With cheering rousing chorus,

As round our blazing fires we throng,

The starry heavens o'er us;

Impatient for the coming fight,

And as we wait the morning's light,

Here in the silence of the night,

We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus:

Soldiers are we

Whose lives are pledged to Ireland;

Some have come

From a lan

  

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,

With cheering rousing chorus,

As round our blazing fires we throng,

The starry heavens o'er us;

Impatient for the coming fight,

And as we wait the morning's light,

Here in the silence of the night,

We'll chant a soldier's song.

Chorus:

Soldiers are we

Whose lives are pledged to Ireland;

Some have come

From a land beyond the wave.

Sworn to be free,

No more our ancient sire land

Shall shelter the despot or the slave.

Tonight we man the "bearna baoil",

In Erin's cause, come woe or weal

'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,

We'll chant a soldier's song

Sean tír ár sinsir feasta

Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil

Anocht a théam sa bharna bhaoil,

Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil

Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar

Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.
