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!

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
Seo dhibh a cháirde duan Óglaigh,
Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,
Ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,

Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo

Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.
