Charter Centennial

The Monsignor Slocum Division #1 Ancient Order of Hibernians received its Charter on March 9, 1909. In recognition of this historic event, the Division will be celebrating our Charter Centennial throughout 2009.

Our Anniversary Committee worked extremely hard for more than a year to ensure that the Celebration is one worthy of our Founders.

Listed below are the dates and locations of the events that took place.  If you missed any of the activities, you can purchase a DVD at the Club that captures the true meaning of Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity. 

Our thanks to all those who took part in our celebration.  Here's to another glorious 100 years!  Slainté.
