Moila Shrine History
Moila Shrine Center began on December 1, 1887. We were the 45th Shrine Center to
receive dispensation. The name "MOILA" means "Elevated to a higher Dignity and
Honor". Ill. Walter Hilton was Moila's first Potentate and served four years.
Only one other Potentate served more that one year, Alvih P. Clayton served
eight years. He is also Moila's only Imperial Potentate. We purchased our
current location in 1920 with our last track of land being bought in 1949. We
are currently located on 103 acres in midtown St. Joseph Missouri, that is home
to one of Northwest Missouri's finest Country Clubs. 18 Hole Championship Golf
course, beautiful water park and great outdoor patio with a view of the golf
course of an evening that is breath taking. In 1934 a three story brick building
was erected at the cost of $65,000. The original obligation was paid in full in
1945. A new pool has now replaced the old one in 2003. In 1957, two floors were
added to the north side of the building. In 1961, a third floor was added to the
north side, making the present building 39,600 square feet. We have
approximately 2,400 members. We also have great dinning facilities and a night
club that is as nice as there is in the St. Joseph area. Please we encourage you
and your family to take advantage of what Moila has to offer. The Shrine of
North America is an international fraternity of approximately 515,000 members
throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada and Panama. The Shrine's official
philanthropy is Shriners Hospitals for Children, a network of 22 hospitals that
provide expert, no-cost orthopedic and burn care to children under 18. If you
know a child Shriners Hospitals might be able to help, call us toll-free at
1-800-237-5055 (in the U.S.) or 1-800-361-7256 (in Canada). |
