We ask that you stress the importance of the Order’s long-standing ceremony and the obligation that each member lives by our great motto. As we continue to strive to strengthen the foundation, the sponsors of the event hope to increase the number of degreed brothers and bring together divisions from around the state/region to celebrate our Catholic - Irish heritage. Our goal is that each of us join through a special unity as Hibernians and end the day as a stronger Brotherhood.
At the time when you were initially sworn into your division and took the oath, you promised "you would learn the lessons and take the test of the Order”. Now is the time to fulfill that promise.
To obtain an accurate headcount for food and refreshments, we ask that all members attending the Major Degrees register online at the Degree Teams website
