The Shriners
Creed
Shriners
believe in God and that He created man to serve His purposes, among which is
service to others in His name.
We believe
that care for the less fortunate, especially children who suffer from burns and
crippling diseases, is our institutional calling.
We are
patriots, each 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
brothers 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 the better because of our fraternity and its principles.
As Shriners we look beyond ourselves to serve the needs of
others, especially children who cannot help themselves. We believe Shriners Hospitals 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.
No man
stands so tall
as when he stoops
to help
a child!
