To be a "Hibernian", however, is something quite different. It is to join with your fellow Hibernians in a bond welded in the fire of the Irish-Catholic history. As Irishmen, our forefathers felt the tyranny of a foreign oppressor; as Catholics, under the same tyranny, our forefathers hid their priests in haystacks at the penalty of their lives.
We are the descendants of this unique history and the inheritors of its significance. As such, we cherish our origin and revere our church. More than that, as Hibernians, we clasp hands in staunch friendship and rally to help each other as our fathers did and their fathers before them.
This is our Hibernian Heritage!
