Proposed Name Change

It has been proposed that our Division change it's name from the current
Monsignor Donal O'Callaghan, to Monsignor Lawrence Giblin.
The idea for the change is to honor a local resident who has devoted his life to our faith.

The topic is open for discussion, and a final vote will take place by the end of the year as to which name we will be known by.

People have asked, "Who was Monsignor O'Callaghan?" 
The answer has always been found on the lower portion of this web site since it was created.
Please read if you intend to vote:
Who was Monsignor Donal O'Callaghan?
It should also be mentioned that Msgr. O'Callaghan's family has been in contact with us and,
of course, are very proud of the fact that an A.O.H. division has honored his memory.

We invite a similar biography be written by those who have knowledge of the life of Monsignor Giblin.
We will publish it here as well so everyone can learn of his great attributes and contributions.
We look forward to hearing more on the subject.

(Please decide on one representative to submit the biography and email it to irelandunitedandfree@excite.com)

Interesting New Concept:

Irish Site Seeks Photos of Every Square Km
Posted by Diane

Want to see your Irish ancestral homeland? Contributing editor SharonDeBartolo Carmack alerted us to a free community photo project sponsored by Ireland’s Ordnance Survey.

The Geograph Project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometer of Ireland.

The project divides the country into a grid. Contributors register for free, then use a map or enter a place name to identify the square of the grid associated with their photo, and finally, upload the photo with a description and other information. (More on submissions here.) 

You also can browse images from the site’s map. “I was surprised to see someone had uploaded a photo of the National School in the small townland of Ardvarney, where my ancestors lived,” Carmack said.

Real (Irish) Men Wear Kilts too!
 
That's right!  Kilts aren't just for Scots anymore!  
Irish wearers are embracing the ancient Celtic 
garment in ever-increasing numbers.  
So, come to "Twin Tiers Kilt Night"
on the 2nd Saturday of every month.
New and Improved website!
Celtic music most every meeting!
