A Welcome Message from our Potentate
           

          El Katif Shrine is truly "MOVING ON FOR MIRACLES TO HAPPEN".   We are talking about the smiling faces of  the children in our system  when  we help  rebuild their lives.   In order to  make these wonders happen we all need to  get involved and participate  in  the mission of the Shrine.  Shriners support  the International Shrine Hospital System that provides the absolute finest medical care to children aged 1-18 who have orthopedic, burn, cleft pallet, MD, and CP issues at no cost to the patient or parent, and we have done this for over 85 years!  It is my firm belief  as Potentate of El Katif Shriners, is that we do accomplish miracles.   We are very fortunate  to have in our city one of the finest Hospitals in the Shrine Hospital System.   

          Members of the Ancient Accepted Nobles of the Mystic Shrine provide a positive presence in our communities, and have done so for over 100 years.  We continue to  work hard to build our membership base, provide family friendly activities,  and serve our Shrine families and the public.  We strive to  demonstrate to all that to be a Shriner is a Great Honor to be earned by good men that want to contribute to their families, and community.     Our Shrine Center has numerous Clubs and  Units that are visible and extremely active in our Jurisdiction.  The area that we operate in is extensive. It's  from the Canadian Border on the North,  to the Idaho border to the East, to the Oregon Border to the South, and to mid state to the West.  We participate in civic parades, fairs, Duck Races, and an untold number of community related activities. 

          This year we have the privilege to host the annual summer session of the  Pacific Northwest Shrine Association  (PNSA)  right here in downtown Spokane.    PNSA is the oldest association of Shrine Centers in the USA.  See the links to PNSA on our site. Come visit us in person the end of July and witness and participate in the fun, fellowship and competition as well as  the parade.

          We are men that love our families, our country, and our God!  We believe that our actions must be  Just, Right  and True!   Please  feel free to explore our website.  I'm sure that you will see that fun and fellowship is being had by all.  More importantly it is happening while we support the mission of the Shrine, our Hospitals!!  If you  like what you see and want to be a part of this great organization, please feel free to contact us. 

          When you see us driving our little cars, motorcycles, marching, or playing in parades smile, wave and understand that we do these things for a greater good,  the health of children everywhere.   Looking forward to seeing  you soon!

     We proudly say, "We're MOVING ON FOR MIRACLES TO HAPPEN"
 
Yours In the Faith,
