AS A SHRINER
Our undertaking as Shriners. We are a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love. We come from all walks of life, meet on the level and enjoy sharing the things we have in common.
We are Shriners in the brotherhood in search of more internal growth by helping our communities and share this growth with our fellow brothers.We get great pleasure in performing our charitable part in every way we are able and in doing so, we have fun and build relationships that last an eternity.
Every time a Shriner puts on a costume, dresses in funny clothes, rides in a tiny car, waves from a float in a parade or participates in any fashion that makes a person smile and happy for the moment, it makes us swell up inside with joy.
The bottom line is “We Care”. on behalf of Doric Temple I would like to welcome you to our official website and also thank you for taking the time out of your day to visit and learn more about this great Temple.
