The General William Thompson, Cumberland County Division II Division of the Ancient Order of  Hibernians was founded in 2001 and is located in Carlisle, PA. We meet at 6:30 the fourth Wednesday of every month at Saint Patrick’s community center on Marsh Drive.

We participate in several community, charitable and faith centered projects and activities every year.

Our aim is to support the Church, our Brothers in the organization, our community and those in need. We seek to improve the human condition of those in need, so others may not suffer as our ancestors did.
