About AOH

The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a Catholic, Irish American Fraternal Organization founded in New York City on May 4, 1836. The Order can trace its roots back to a parent organization, of the same name, which has existed in Ireland for over 300 years. However, while the organizations share a common thread, the North American A.O.H. is a separate and much larger organization.

Active across the United States, The Order seeks to aid the newly arrived Irish, both socially and politically. The many Divisions and club facilities located throughout the U.S. traditionally have been among the first to welcome new Irish Americans. Here, the Irish culture -- art, dance, music, and sports are fostered and preserved. The newcomers can meet some of "their own" and are introduced to the social atmosphere of the Irish-American community. The AOH has been at the political forefront for issues concerning the Irish, such as: Immigration Reform; economic incentives both here and in Ireland; the human rights issues addressed in the MacBride Legislation; Right-To-Life; and a peaceful and just solution to the issues that divide Ireland.

The Omaha AOH Fr Flanagan Division is the local Division for the Omaha Metro Area and is based in Omaha. The club holds monthly meetings and is involved in many community events and activities. The Omaha Division also is proud to support many fund raising activities for the Madonna School for Exceptional Children and other worthy social causes.

In 1998 the Division elected to name the Division after Fr. Edward Flanagan who founded Boystown in 1917. Now named Girls & Boys Town, the facility has a long history of offering help, hope and healing to abused, abandoned, neglected, handicapped or otherwise troubled children. In fact, their mission is to change the way America cares for her at-risk children.
