The Mass, led by Division Chaplain Father Duggan, was a moving tribute to our enduring traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LAOH member Debra Foley, from County Kerry, Ireland, set a reverent tone, guiding us in prayers in the Irish language before the Mass. All were encouraged to join in as the Lords Prayer was said in Irish during the mass. This connection to our shared heritage added a profound depth to the prayers, enriching our celebration. We look forward to adding more Irish language into future masses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris-768x769.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/aoh.com\/gobansaer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Chris.jpg 1460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As the Mass concluded, AOH member Chris Cooke of the An Gorta Mor Memorial Pipes and Drums filled the air with the sounds of &#8220;St. Patrick\u2019s Day in the Morning.&#8221; His bagpipe performance was a fitting finale to our spiritual gathering, leaving us inspired as we exited to the stirring sounds of the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our heartfelt thanks go to the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, the players from the Raleigh GAA, and our friends at Le Ch\u00e9ile, as well as everyone in the community who joined us.
