Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan of the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore was recently presented with the prestigious Father Edward J. Flanagan Human Dignity Award by members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH). This award is bestowed upon individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to the defence of human life, particularly in advocating for the unborn and those suffering from various forms of societal neglect.

During the ceremony, the AOH recognised Bishop Cullinan’s achievements, noting that:
“he has been a vocal advocate for the protection of unborn lives, taking a strong stance against the legalisation of abortion in Ireland in 2018. His unwavering commitment to defending the rights of the unborn has earned him respect and admiration from those who share his pro-life convictions. In addition to his public advocacy, Bishop Cullinan established Little Nellie’s Baby Bank, named after Ellen Organ, to provide essential material support to women facing crisis pregnancies"
