History of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians

The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians was organized in Omaha, Nebraska in 1894 as the "Daughters of Erin." The Organization pledged itself to God and Country. In 1906 at the National Convention of the Order at Saratoga Springs the Ladies received permission from the National Chaplain (Archbishop Farley of New York) and the National President of the AOH to function as a separate organization. The name was changed to "Ladies Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America." In 1984 at the National Constitution Convention of the Order held in Albany, NY, the Ladies voted to change their name to "The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians."

The primary purpose of the Ladies was to protect young immigrant Irish girls coming to the United States, to assist them in securing employment, to give them the opportunity to be with their own kind and to keep them from becoming homesick and discouraged. Our Patron Saint is Saint Brigid. The motto of the Ladies is
"FRIENDSHIP, UNITY AND CHRISTIAN CHARITY."
