Welcome to Al Kader Shriners

Al Kader Shriners was founded in 1888, was the first Shriners Center to be established in the Pacific Northwest.  Originally located in the City of Portland, our home is now in Wilsonville.

The purpose of the Shrine is to have fun and support the Shrine Hospitals. The Shrine Organization is international, with centers in Canada, Mexico, Panama and the United States. There are 191 Shrine centers with approximately 375,000 members. Although the Shriners are an all male fraternity we proudly include our wives and Ladies in all that we do.

In order to become a Shriner you must first become a Mason. Freemasonry is the oldest, largest and most widely known fraternity in the world. It dates back to a time when the stone masons gathered to discuss their craft and socialize. To become a Mason, a man must ask to join.
