Degrees
The Degrees of our Order are an essential part of being a member of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, Inc. Each member, when receiving the Degrees, is shown the grand history of the Irish people and Catholic faith, the importance of women in that history and is sworn to a solemn obligation that is taken as Degreed members. Every member wishing to advance in the leadership of this Order, as well as every member wishing for a deeper understanding of the Order, is encouraged to take Degrees as soon as possible after initiation or as soon as available. The importance of the Degrees cannot be put into words and must be experienced by each member to be fully understood.
“I would like an abundance of Peace.
I would like full vessels of Charity.
I would like rich treasures of Mercy.
I would like cheerfulness to preside over All”
~ St. Brigid of Ireland (453-523)

LAOH MISSION & CHARITIES
Thank You to all of the Charity sponsors, as usual the LAOH is very generous.
The Michigan LAOH Divisions support a wide variety of local charities and mission programs as well as the National organization’s support of the Columban Fathers and Sisters since 1935 and 2006 respectively.
As small sample of local charities supported by our members include, but not limited to, Mary’s Mantle, Pope Francis Center, Matrix Human Services, Right to Life and a host of others. We welcome your generous donations to the Michigan Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians to help us continue with our good works.
Each Division also has a Mission & Charities officer who will manage donations for the National LAOH Columban charities through the purchase of Mass and Greeting Cards. These donations collected help those that answered the call to mission and help facilitate their work across the world. It has been amazing to see the generosity throughout the years.
