Troy was a powerhouse of NY Hibernians in the past, and I am thrilled they are in a revival mode, bringing in many new members and active in the community under President PJ Higgitt. They won the Organizer’s trophy at the 2025 Convention for largest growth in the last (2) years. Hibernian Officers and members are encouraged to attend the NY State AOH, Spring and Fall State Board Meetings.
