Ancient Order of Hibernians - Michigan State Board
The Ancient Order of Hibernians is America’s oldest Irish Catholic Fraternal Organization founded concurrently in the coal-mining region of Pennsylvania and New York City in May, 1836. The Order can trace its roots back to a series of similar societies that existed in Ireland for more than 300 years. The AOH Michigan State Board represents the 12 AOH divisions spread throughout the state of Michigan. The board meets quarterly, on various published dates, and officers and members of all divisions are encouraged to attend these meetings.
The next AOH Michigan State Board meeting will be on Saturday May 8th in Grand Rapids, hosted by AOH Kent County Fr. John Whalen McGee Division. Time is 11:00 AM. Social distancing will be in place and masks will be required. Note: See the "Activities/Photo Gallery" page on this site for more details.
