Members of
Division One attended the annual Respect Life Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral

human life.

The Hibernians were warmly greeted by Msgr. Robert Richie, who reminded those gathered that all human life must be respected and protected from conception till natural death. He also told the story about how the A.O.H. defended Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral against those who wished to destroy it back in the 1840’s.
