The Annual AOH Hooley celebrates St. Patrick’s Day and doubles as a fundraiser for the community and for Christ House.  $13,000 was raised through ticket sales and sponsorships/donations.   Nested under the Diocese of Arlington and with the Basilica of St. Mary, Christ house operates a shelter, kitchen, and food pantry for the needy and homeless in Alexandria.  Over 390 people attended the event that showcased Irish dancing groups, local musicians, and enjoyed beverages and a buffet donated by Murphy’s Grand Irish Pub.
