☘️Congratulations to Lynn F. McDonald! ☘️

The Kings County Ancient Order of Hibernians is proud to be represented by Lynn F. McDonald as the Kings County Aide to the Grand Marshal for this year’s New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade!

A lifelong Brooklynite, Lynn has deep Irish roots, with ancestors who came from Counties Louth, Cork, and Dublin. She has dedicated herself to service both professionally and within our community—working over a decade in the New York State Court System, contributing tirelessly to the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians Division 19, and serving in leadership roles with the Kings County LAOH and the Knights of Columbus.

Lynn’s commitment to our heritage, our parishes, and our community is unwavering. From fundraising and St. Brigid celebrations to volunteering at the Hibernian Baile na nGael Hall—“Brooklyn’s Home of the Irish”—she exemplifies the spirit and dedication of the Hibernian tradition.

Please join us in celebrating Lynn F. McDonald as she takes on this esteemed role in this year’s parade! ☘️

The Kings County Ancient Order of Hibernians is proud to recognize and congratulate Brother Mike Zwosta of John O’Hagan Division 19 on being selected as the Kings County AOH Representative and Aide to the Grand Marshal in this year’s Brooklyn St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Mike exemplifies the spirit of the AOH through his dedication to faith, family, and community. A devoted school teacher, Mike generously gives of his time outside the classroom as well, teaching CCD and helping guide the next generation. His commitment to service extends even further through his involvement with the Knights of Columbus and as a volunteer firefighter in the Gerritsen Beach community.

In addition to his many acts of service, Mike is also the owner of .entertainer1, where he uses his talents to entertain at community gatherings and charitable events throughout Brooklyn.

Brother Mike represents the very best of what it means to be a Hibernian. His generosity, leadership, and dedication to the community make him a fitting choice to represent the Kings County AOH and to serve as Aide to the Grand Marshal in this year’s Brooklyn St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The Kings County Ancient Order of Hibernians proudly congratulates Mike on this well-deserved honor and thanks him for the pride he brings to John O’Hagan Division 19 and to Irish America in Brooklyn.

Congratulations Mike!
