Shriner's Creed

Shriner's believe in God and that He created man to serve His purpose, among which is service to others in His name.

 

We believe that care for the less fortunate, especially children who suffers burns and crippling diseases, is our institutional calling.

 

We are patriots, willing to serve his country with fidelity and courage. We cherish independence under law and freedom with responsibility.

 

We honor family. We respect our parents, wives and children. We should instill in our children the tenets of this creed, and the heritage from which it emanates.

 

As individuals we pledge ourselves to integrity, virtue and nobility of character. Our intentions will be honorable, our relations will be trustworthy and our spirits forgiving of each other.

 

As brother we offer each other fraternal affection and respect. Together we will support each other in adherence to this creed, so that we and our communities will be better because of our fraternity and its principles.

 

As Shriner's we look beyond ourselves to serve the needs of others, especially children who cannot help themselves. We believe Shriner's Hospital to be the world's greatest philanthropy, and we covenant with each other to support its "temples of mercy" with spirit, time, talent and means.
