Why Join the AOH of the South Shore?
Membership is an invitation to build friendships, celebrate your Irish heritage and Catholic faith, and make a lasting difference in your community. Our Division is a welcoming brotherhood where members and their families share in social and cultural events.
Whether your interests are traditional Irish music, local history, volunteering, public commemorations or community fundraising, there is a place for you to contribute.
