Morris County, NJ, Division One Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH)

The Ancient Order of Hibernians is an Irish Catholic fraternal organization which celebrates the rich Irish language, culture and history. This division has been formed in response to the need to have AOH representation in Morris County and the southern half of the Diocese of Paterson. Historically, divisions served these needs in adjacent divisions in Somerville and Montclair. We have seen the need to respond to the growing needs of Morris County's large Irish American Catholic population. Thank you for joining us.

Meeting Announcement

Halloween is only a few days away and if you’re still curious about how bobbing for apples, dressing up in costume, or making jack o-lanterns got started, come to out next General Membership meeting and find out.

When: Tuesday, October 27, 2009, at 8:00 p.m
Where: St. Peter the Apostle Church Hall, on Baldwin Road and Route 46 in Parsippany, NJ.

We will have a short meeting of no more than 30 minutes (we also expect to initiate some new members). After the meeting, we will open the hall to all who wish to see our own Greg Seán Canning give his presentation of the history and the customs of the festival of Samhain. Those who have seen his presentation have found it to be informative and entertaining. After the presentation, refreshments will be served, including the famous Irish Coffees, so please make every effort to attend.

As I indicated earlier, the presentation is open to the public, so if your spouse and/or children would also like to come, they are welcome to do so. During the meeting, we will offer wine and cheese in the Ministers room until the time of the presentation.
