With Deep Roots …
in St. Louis, Missouri, we are the Irish Voice promoting the Irish Culture, our Catholic Faith and giving back to our community. From Charitable projects, supporting Catholic Initiatives, to Irish Cultural activities such as The Annual Ancient Order of Hibernians St. Patrick's Day Parade, the Irish Fest, The Easter Rising Memorial, and Irish Heritage Month, the AOH’s mission is to promote Catholic Faith, Irish Heritage, and Christian Charity. |
Congratulations to Division 2 and the St Louis AOH for exemplifying the AOH motto of “Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity” at its best!
The Hibernian Hunger ProjectA part of what we do, is give back to our community. To be recognized by the National Ancient Order of Hibernians for the 3rd year in a row is truly an Honor! We strive to give back to our community and one of the many ways is through our work with the Sts Peter and Paul Catholic Church Meal Program and Peter and Paul Community Services Center
What is the Hibernian Hunger Project? The Great Hunger that took place in Ireland from 1845 – 1849 literally changed the face of the Emerald Isle forever. During this time period over one million men, women and children died from starvation. At the same time, many Irish men women and children emigrated to Britain, Canada, and the United States in the hope of escaping this horrific tragedy that had befallen their native land. In reality, though the potato blight did happen, there was plenty of food in Ireland that could have fed, and more than likely saved the million plus who died. The wealthy landowners in Ireland shipped their crops and other edible food items to England and the other parts of the world for profit. |
In remembrance of this dark period in Irish History, in 2003 AOH National President Ned McGinley and the National Boards of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians established the Hibernian Hunger Project as a means to honor those who had died during the Great Hunger; to educate Irish America and beyond about the an Gorta Mor; to help with the hunger problem in the US and to show the generosity of the AOH and LAOH membership....
