The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a Catholic, Irish American Fraternal Organization founded in New York City 4 May,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. The organization's social highlight of the year is the Grand Marshal Ball and the St. Patrick's Day Parade that steps off just north of the Huntington Train Station along New York Avenue before turning west onto Main Street ending at Saint Patrick's Church.
Some of the organizations to which the AOH donates are: Catholic Relief Services, the Pederson-Kreg Center and St. Baldricks.
