MOTTO - D.C. A Dedicated and Committed Desert Serving the Community
Greetings and welcome to the official site of the Desert of the District of Columbia. On behalf of the Deputy of the Desert, Phillip David, I would like to thank you for visiting our site, and hope you find your visit both educational and informative.
As Prince Hall Shriners we embrace all of the basic fundamental concepts of the Masonic Order, since our humble beginning in June 1893 in Chicago, IL, we have strived to be pillars of our community, by dispersing charity among those areas we live and work, thus our Motto,
"D.C. A Dedicated and Committed Desert Serving the Community"
Currently, we have 3 Temples and 3 Courts spread throughout the District of Columbia.
Please take a moment and see the wonderful things that the Nobles and Daughters of the Nation's Capital are doing. We look forward to talking with you and hope you will come visit us one day. Our doors are always open to all of you, and we hope to see you soon sometime in the near future.
