The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians is the largest Irish Catholic organization in the United States. Even though there is a large Irish Catholic population in Washington County and the mid-Mon Valley area, there is only one division in this area.
The LAOH is a fraternal, charitable organization promoting the ideals, history and traditions of the Irish people. The Mary Ellen O'Neill Division #4 was charted in August of 1984 and has gone from over 50 members to less than 20.
The requirements for memberships are: you must be a practicing Roman Catholic 16 years of age or older, of Irish descent or married to someone of Irish descent, or adopted by someone of Irish descent.
