Active across the united states, the order seeks to aid the newly arrived irish, both socially and economically. The many divisions and club facilities located throughout the u. S. Have traditionally been among the first to welcome new irish immigrants. Here, the irish culture art, dance, music, and sports are fostered and preserved. The newcomers can meet some of their own and are introduced to the social atmosphere of the irish-american community. The aoh has been at the forefront for issues concerning the irish, such as; immigration reform; economic incentives both here and in ireland; the human rights issues addressed in the macbride legislation; right-to-life; and a peaceful and just solution to the issues that divide ireland.
