Membership Information

Membership in the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Inc. is confined to men 16 years and older who are practicing Roman Catholics of Irish birth or descent and who are citizens of United States of America or who have declared their intentions to become citizens of the United States of America. We also offer associate membership for men of good character who don’t meet our requirements for full membership. If you apply to be an Associate Member, you are not required to be Irish or Catholic. Benefits, however, vary from those who are Full Members.

We accept members throughout the year at our monthly regular membership meetings. The full membership votes on each new member. Once you’ve been voted in as a full member or as an Associate member, and you’ve undergone the initiation ritual (which can be held before any regular meeting, you can attend regular membership meetings. Until then, though, join us after our meetings (usually 8:30 pm or so) and/or at ANY of our events.

If you wish to become a full or associate member of our Division, please contact us, or please fill out the on-line application found below.
