Welcome to the Father
Corby and Alice Hamill Divisions
The men and women of the Father Corby and Alice Hamill divisions AOH/LAOH
wish you a traditional cead mile failte—a thousand welcomes. The AOH is a
fraternal organization dedicated to “Friendship, Unity, Christian Charity” and
support to the Church entrusted to us by Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our two divisions extend this mission to continue
the legacy of the early Irish contributions to St. Mary of Sorrows. Land for the Church was donated by the Hamil
family in the 1840’s—today members of the family are part of the Father Corby
Division and parishioners of St. Mary’s.
Irish laborers built the historic church after working long days
constructing the nearby railroad.
