LAOH 22 St. Florian

Ladies Ancient Order Of Hibernian’s

St. Florian

Division 22 Philadelphia

Welcome

A Sisterhood of Irish and Irish-American, Catholic Women, The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernian’s is a National organization officially recognized in Omaha, Nebraska in 1894 as the "Daughters of Erin." It is felt that the Ancient Order of Hibernian’s had always had women as a support group, but due to the "Secret" societal aspect of the Order, the men chose not to acknowledge the women. However, being of the "Matriarchal" heritage that is ours, the women sought their own identity and finally at the National Convention in Omaha, Nebraska in May 1894 the men relented and allowed the formation of the "Daughters of Erin." In 1906, the name was changed to "Ladies Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of Hibernian’s in America". In 1984, the Ladies voted to change their name to "The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernian’s." In 2004 we have been officially incorporated on our own as Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernian’s, Inc.
