The Motto of the AOH is "Friendship, Unity & True Christian Charity". This comes to life in our Charities and Missions programs where we donate our time and money to throughout the year. The county Board as well as the county collectively donate thousands of dollars that we raise to local, national & international Catholic & Irish charities as well and volunteering hundreds of hours with many of these same charities both locally and nationally. Local organizations do not need to be Irish or Catholic to receive our help. We four our efforts wherever they may be needed.
​
In recent years, our member Divisions in Allegheny County have volunteer their times for:
​
~Volunteering at our home parishes as ushers, Deacons, music directors, fish fry's, etc.
