Project St. Patrick

Project St. Patrick is a joint program of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) and the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians (LAOH), dedicated to supporting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and religious life within the Catholic Church.

Each year, Project St. Patrick provides $500 Vocational Aid Grants to seminarians and religious in formation, helping them meet personal expenses not covered by their seminaries or religious communities. From textbooks and transportation to clothing and medical needs, these grants make a real difference in the lives of men and women preparing to dedicate their lives to the service of God and His people.

Why It Matters

The Irish have a proud history of producing priests and religious who have served communities across the globe. In today’s world, answering the call to religious life can be challenging—financially, personally, and spiritually. By supporting Project St. Patrick, we ensure that those who are called have the means to follow that path.

  • Make a Donation – Contributions go directly to vocational aid grants.
