With the surprise appearance of State President Rich O’Brien, the Brotherhood along with President O’Brien lead a group of 6 bands, 16 classic cars, 2 bagpipers and hundreds of costumed children and their families throughout the streets of Freehold Boro to the Hall of Records. With their strong commitment to community service, 16 looked strong as brothers Johnston, Byer, and O’Conner handed candy to excited youngsters. John Keane, John Klapouchy, President Chris Dowd, Dennis O’Brien carried the flags proudly, while the families of Ernie Morganstern, and Ron Byer, along with John Johnston, Jeff O’Brien, Bill Cannon, Tom O’Connor and Rich “Séamus” Kane all impressed the large crowd with how well they looked, how really happy they looked, how professional they looked, how well they represented the Hibernians of Division 16 and our State President Rich O’Brien and our state brothers. As we are being reminded by so many, we are THE BROTHERHOOD, the Ancient Order of the Hibernians Division 16

Thank you everyone for being part of the parade
