Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Ancient Order of Hibernians Louisville Kentucky Chapter. The AOH is the oldest Irish Catholic organization in America. If you’re visiting our site you are probably aware that our division brings the city of Louisville Kentucky one of the finest St. Patrick’s Parades in the country. We’re also known around the community in Louisville as the presenters of “The Shillelagh” the award given to the winner of the St. Xavier and Trinity High Schools rivalry football game, a tradition that is over fifty years old.
