held its Annual Communion Breakfast at St. Joseph’s Seminary on February 22nd. The event drew over 200 guests who attended
Mass in The Seminary’s Chapel and then was served a full hot breakfast in the campus
refectory.

The guest
speaker for the event was ESPN commentator and studio analyst Tommy Smyth, who
shared his inspiring life story from beginnings in Ireland to traveling the
world broadcasting championship soccer matches for the largest sports network
in the world. Tommy and his wife Treasa also serve as the broadcast team for the WNBC-TV broadcast of The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade every year.

| Pat McLaughlin and Larry McCrudden Hibernians of The Year 2015 |
Two Division
members, Patrick McLaughlin and Larry McCrudden, were honored as Hibernians of
the Year for 2015. “Patrick and Larry are members that symbolize the very best of The AOH”,
said Division One President Kevin Ellis, “Both
of these men represent the highest standard of community service and
citizenship that we all hope to achieve”.
 |
| The McSweeney Chalice is used during The AOH Mass each year |
The event is
special not only for its stunning location, but also for the fact that St.
Joseph’s Seminary is the home of The
McSweeney Chalice, an Irish relic that was created during the time of The
Penal Laws in Ireland and eventually made its way to America. The Seminary Faculty and Staff graciously
agree to take the chalice from its vault and use it during the AOH mass each
year.

| Division One welcomed AOH NY State Vice President Tim McSweeney (R) |
The Officers and Members of Division One would like to thank all of our friends and supporters for making this event a success. We would also like to especially thank the faculty and staff at St. Joseph's Seminary who welcome us each and every year.
