Ancient Order of Hibernians The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a Catholic, Irish American Fraternal Organization founded in New York City on May 4, 1836. The Order can trace its roots back to a parent organization of the same name which has existed in Ireland for over 300 years. The Order evolved from a need in the early 1600’s to protect the lives of priests who risked death to keep the Catholic Faith alive in occupied Ireland after the reign of England’s King Henry VIII. Similarly, the AOH in America was founded in 1836 to protect Catholics from the “Know Nothings” and their followers. Active across the United States, the Order seeks to aid the newly arrived Irish, both socially and politically.
Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity
The AOH in Louisiana is proud to have been active for many years in promoting and supporting Irish culture throughout local communities while supporting the Catholic Church. For more information, please visit our website: www.aohla.com.

Dave Streiffer Co. Inc.
In 1949 the original Irish settlers opened their doors at Tracey’s to the community for St. Patrick’s Day. Ever since then, the New Orleans area has been drawn to the Irish Channel for this annual event with its friendly atmosphere, cold beer, and fantastic food. Tracey’s is the original Irish Channel bar, established in 1949. It was always seen as an Irish Channel Oasis, with cool air conditioning, the first color TVs in the neighborhood, cold beer and fantastic food. Tracey’s has been lucky to have re-captured that original old-fashioned feeling by maintaining its great staff and fantastic customers and friends. Tracey’s has recently been featured on the food Networks “Food Feuds”, The Wall Street Journal’s & the New York Post’s entertainment sections, and on local food
critic Tom Fitzmorris’ list of “Most Interesting Restaurants”. Please join us in celebrating this great Irish Heritage and Tradition. For more information please go to our Web site at: http://www.traceysnola.com
