Today the 1st of September we pause to remember on this, Orange Victims Day.

We recall the 3 members of our lodge who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
- William J Johnston 18th Dec 1972
- Sir Norman C L Stronge 21st Jan 1981
- James M Stronge 21st Jan 1981

We remember the 8 members of Killylea District No 7, each one taken by the savage acts of terrorists.

We pay tribute to the 68 Brethren of County Armagh, not just a number but 68 families devastated at the loss of a loved one.

And the 344 brothers and 1 sister of the Orange Order, a staggering number of those struct down and taken too soon.

We will remember them🧡

John 15:13 - "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

You watched the Co Armagh Twelfth parade in Newtownhamilton….why not be part of it next year in the County where the Institution was founded.

The banners, the bands, the colour, the history, the faith, the fellowship and the tradition all come together to make the Twelfth a day unlike any other.

If you stood along the route this year and enjoyed the atmosphere, perhaps it’s time to experience it as a member of the largest community based organisation in the County.

The Orange Institution welcomes those who wish to uphold its principles, preserve our heritage and become part of a tradition that has served communities for generations. Membership offers opportunities for friendship, personal development, community involvement and taking pride in our faith, history and culture.

Don’t just watch the parade—walk in it.

Join your local Orange Lodge today and make next year’s Twelfth one you’ll never forget.

Be part of the tradition. Be part of the fellowship. Be part of the future.

📩 If you’d like to find out more about membership, send us a message or email [email protected] - we’d be delighted to help.
