For Our Ladies

The Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America is a fun group open to ladies related to a Shriner or Master Mason and at least 18 years of age. As a group we raise about 1.6 million annually for the hospitals and we donate 365,000 personal hours of support. Our job is to support the Nobles and Masons in this endeavor.  Karnak Court meets once a month at Westchester Masonic Temple. The ladies sew twice a month at the Chicago Unit of Shriners Hospital and those who are unable to sew at the hospital work on projects at home. We have a Patrol and is not your every day drill team. Our "fun" drills make it easy for everyone to perform and still delight an audience of both children and adults. We also have a Drum Corps and with their snappy march music truly a crowd pleaser. Why not think about joining the White Fez group? Any questions, contact Adrienne Johnson at 847-966-2471

King Oscar Lodge #855 History

King Oscar Lodge #855 Centennial History Book

Brother Paul Scheeler, Worshipful Master of Oriental Lodge 33, found this piece of history of Providence Lodge and our home The Jefferson Masonic Temple. Thought you like to take a read. Thank you Paul.

Brother Paul Scheeler also found this coin. Were not sure of the date but could of been made for our charter year

The link is to an article that was brought to Russ' attention by Bro. Robert Weiss, a member of KO and a Mason for over 60 years.  We thought that the KO website could include an abstract of the article (with mention of Bro. Robert Weiss) and the following link to the article as it is posted on the Structure Magazine web site.

King Oscar Lodge # 855 is a Masonic AF & AM lodge located in Chicago, IL, USA.

We meet the 2nd and 4th Fridays @ 5418 Gale Street, Chicago IL 60630

Our lodge was chartered in 1898 and given the name of the King of Sweden and Norway Oscar II of that time.

Since then, we have always been a place "where true Masonic brotherhood flourishes."

"Freemasonry is an organized society of men symbolically applying the principles of operative masonry and architecture to the science and art of character building. Its purpose is to improve the community through the improvement and strengthening of the character of the individual man."
