Welcome to Al Kader Shriners
Al Kader Shriners was founded in 1888, and 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, Republic of Panama and the United States. There are 191 Shrine centers (chapters) with approximately 350,000 members. Although the Shriners are an all male fraternity we proudly include our wives and Ladies in all that we do.

Be a Shriner Now
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.  Al Kader Membership Information

Shriners Hospitals
Every year, the 22 hospitals provide care for thousands of kids with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, in a family-centered environment at no charge. It's how Shriners Hospitals has been helping kids defy the odds since 1922.
