WHAT’S A SHRINER?

 A Shriner is a man who professes a faith in God. As a man of faith he uses the tools of moral and Ethical truths to serve mankind.

A Shriner binds himself to like-minded men in a Brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethical, social, cultural, and educational differences.

In fellowship, with his brothers, a Shriner finds ways in which to serve his God, his family, his fellow man, and his country.

A Shriner is dedicated.  He recognizes his responsibility for justice, truth, charity, enlightenment, freedom and liberty, honesty and integrity in all aspects of human endeavor.

A Shriner is such a man!!
