Freedom For All Ireland Christmas Appeal

The FFAI Christmas Appeal is the one way that we as Hibernians can directly impact those that live in the six counties of Northern Ireland. The funds raised go towards programs that help the communities in Northern Ireland focus on building a new future of peace and community. These programs are making a difference in a very difficult economic and political climate by fostering peace and justice, and providing services and support to Irish language and dance programs, youth groups, and families.

Ladies, your generous support in the past has solidified our commitment to the people of Northern Ireland and sent them a very clear message that they are not forgotten. I have met many of them and they are truly touched by your generosity and support of this program which has made a huge difference in the quality of their lives. 

Thank you for your generous support.
Wishing you a Joyous Christmas Season!

In our Motto,
Dolores Desch

1918 Irish Freedom Resolution

On Tuesday April 24th in Albany there was a special discussion on the floor of both the Assembly and Senate on Legislative Resolutions honoring the 100th Anniversary of Ireland's Freedom Mandate Vote and also commending the AOH and LAOH for Irish-American contributions to America and Ireland. Afterward Senators and Assembly members were invited to a special event at the Albany AOH Hall. 

Below is a copy of the Resolution which should make all Hibernians proud. The Irish Echo also posted an article about the events at the Capitol.
Presentation sent to us by Fr. Gary Donegan, CP, Ardoyne, Belfast.

​The slideshow depicted the pain and the progress, the anguish and the hope that has been the story in Ardoyne and across the North for decades. While there is peace, there is still so much to overcome regarding equality, employment, justice and poverty.
