You can watch live on the AOH Facebook page beginning at 2:30pm Eastern time. Please share this information and be sure to join us Saturday for the FFAI Christmas Appeal Donations.
Yours in Motto, Danny O’
Some of my most memorable moments as a Hibernian came during the 2019 FFAI Tour when we presented Christmas Appeal grants. Recipients included leading justice campaigners like Mark Thompson of Relatives for Justice, former political prisoners like Bik McFarlane of Belfast National Graves, Fr. Gary Donegan and others.It was special to hear them talk about how important America and the AOH AND LAOH are to them. We are still working on the schedule but our National President Danny O’Connell and LAOH President Karen Keane are working on a live event Saturday September 19th which will allow you to see and hear this year’s FFAI GRANT recipients talk about their work for Freedom for all Ireland and how much they count on AOH-LAOH GRANTS.
This is something you will not want to miss being a part of and I urge you to get the word out now!!!!!
