Why become a
Shriner?
Three good reasons: Fun, Fellowship
and Philanthropy. The Shriners are an organization that grew
out of the Masons over a century ago by men who wanted to
take a their fraternity to a new level. By stressing fun and
fellowship more than ritual, they hoped to create something
special. They did, and when they started to build hospitals
that treat children with burns and joint problems, they
formed one of the greatest philanthropies ever.
By joining you can be a part of
something that has helped thousands of people throughout the
years, and have fun doing it! Along with helping others and
each other, Shriners value a good time. The friendships
built will always be with you, as will the knowledge of what
you've accomplished by being a Shriner. Just go to any
Shriner parade and you'll see the good time had by the
Shriners and those who attend.
Parades aren't the only thing
Shriners do together, though. Each Temple has various groups
and units within it, and there is something for everyone!
There are even groups for the wives and daughters of
Shriners. There is always something there to help you grow
as a person and help the community around you.
Membership
Requirements
You must be a Master Mason before
you can become a Shriner. The third and final degree of
Freemasonry can be completed at a Masonic Lodge, sometimes
referred to as a Blue Lodge. After attaining this, many
Masons opt to become Shriners. To join, you need only ask a
member of the Masonic Lodge, or if you are already a Mason,
ask a Shriner from the Sabbar Temple. Then an interview will
be set up so the process can begin, which includes forms
like those below. If you are having trouble finding the
lodge, or your interested in becoming a Mason, please visit
the Grand Lodge of Arizona website for information and
assistance in locating a lodge near you.
If you are already a Mason in good
standing, feel free to download the petition for membership

and then stop by or contact us!
