Irish Catholic Heritage in Dayton
The Ancient Order of Hibernians JFK Division #1 is the oldest continuously active AOH division in Ohio, dating back to at least 1878. We are proud of our faith as Catholics, our heritage as Irishmen, and our home in Dayton, Ohio, USA.
Friendship, Unity & Christian Charity
True to the motto of our Order, in a time of loneliness, disconnection, and unbelief, we provide a place for men of Irish descent and shared Catholic faith to come together in friendship, form a community, and celebrate our heritage while serving others.
Honoring the Past, Building the Future
The AOH is a community across generations, linking us to our ancestors in Ireland and our children's children in the USA. We are committed to honoring the legacy of our forefathers and building the future for our posterity.
