Peter Yorke, a beloved American Irish Catholic priest who served at St. Peter\u2019s Church in San Francisco during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Throughout his life, Fr. Yorke was a staunch defender of the Catholic Church against bigotry, a vocal champion for labor rights, and an advocate for Irish Nationalism. Fr. Yorke&#8217;s story is beautifully captured in the book&nbsp;<em>Consecrated Thunderbolt: Father Yorke of San Francisco<\/em>&nbsp;by Joseph H. Brusher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To honor his legacy, Division 17 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) will commemorate Fr. Yorke\u2019s remarkable contributions by marching with banners honoring Fr. Yorke during this years St. Patrick&#8217;s Day parade on Saturday March 15. &nbsp;Each Palm Sunday, the United Irish Societies of San Francisco including the&nbsp;Division 17 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians,&nbsp;hold a memorial celebration in his honor at Holy Cross Cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_50430\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\"  data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TMoUmEMuuSQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class = 'socialMediaOnEveryPost'><div id=\"sgmbShare1-1\" class=\"sgmbShare jssocials-theme-classic sgmbWidget1-1\"><\/div><div class=\"dropdownWrapper dropdownWrapper1 dropdownWrapper-for-widget \" id=\"dropdownWrapper-for-widget\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dropdownLabel\" id=\"dropdownLabel-share-list\"><span class=\"sgmbButtonListLabel1\">Share List<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dropdownPanel dropdownPanel1-1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><script>  SGMB_URL = \"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-builder\/\"; jQuery(\".dropdownWrapper\").hide(); SGMB_GOOGLE_ACOUNT = \"\"; <\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function($){var widget = new SGMBWidget();widget.show({\"id\":\"1\",\"title\":\"Default\",\"options\":{\"currentUrl\":\"1\",\"url\":\"\",\"shareText\":\"\",\"fontSize\":\"10\",\"betweenButtons\":\"1px\",\"theme\":\"classic\",\"sgmbButtonsPosition\":\"bottomRight\",\"socialTheme\":\"classic\",\"icon\":\"default\",\"buttonsPanelEffect\":\"No Effect\",\"buttonsEffect\":\"No Effect\",\"iconsEffect\":\"No Effect\",\"buttons\":\"{\\\"facebook\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"Share\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-facebook\\\"},\\\"twitter\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"Tweet\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-twitter\\\",\\\"via\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"hashtags\\\":\\\"\\\"},\\\"googleplus\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"+1\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-googleplus\\\"},\\\"email\\\":{\\\"label\\\":\\\"E-mail\\\",\\\"icon\\\":\\\"default-email\\\"}}\",\"roundButton\":\"\",\"showLabels\":\"on\",\"showCounts\":\"\",\"showCenter\":\"\",\"showButtonsAsList\":\"\",\"sgmbDropdownColor\":\"\",\"sgmbDropdownLabelFontSize\":\"14\",\"sgmbDropdownLabelColor\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnEveryPost\":\"on\",\"selectedOrExcluded\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnEveryPage\":\"\",\"textOnEveryPost\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnCustomPost\":\"\",\"textOnCustomPost\":\"\",\"showButtonsOnMobileDirect\":\"on\",\"showButtonsOnDesktopDirect\":\"on\",\"sgmbSelectedPages\":[\"\"],\"sgmbExcludedPosts\":[\"\"],\"sgmbSelectedCustomPosts\":[],\"showButtonsInPopup\":\"\",\"titleOfPopup\":\"\",\"descriptionOfPopup\":\"\",\"showPopupOnLoad\":\"\",\"showPopupOnScroll\":\"\",\"showPopupOnExit\":\"\",\"openSecondsOfPopup\":\"\",\"googleAnaliticsAccount\":\"\"},\"buttonOptions\":{\"facebook\":{\"label\":\"Share\",\"icon\":\"default-facebook\"},\"twitter\":{\"label\":\"Tweet\",\"icon\":\"default-twitter\",\"via\":\"\",\"hashtags\":\"\"},\"googleplus\":{\"label\":\"+1\",\"icon\":\"default-googleplus\"},\"email\":{\"label\":\"E-mail\",\"icon\":\"default-email\"}},\"button\":[\"facebook\",\"twitter\",\"googleplus\",\"email\"]}, 1, '', 'https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FrYorkPainting-DowlingLibrary-scaled.jpg', '', 'https:\/\/aoh.com\/2025\/02\/20\/aoh-san-francisco-division-17-to-honor-the-centenary-of-fr-peter-yorkes-death\/'); });<\/script><\/div><script> jQuery(\".socialMediaOnEveryPost\").addClass(\"sgmb-right\") <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year marks the centenary of the death of Fr.
