National Sojourner’s®
Omaha Chapter #19
Purpose Statement:
The purposes of National Sojourners shall be to organize current and former members of the uniformed services of the United States and Honorary Members, who are Master Masons, into Chapters, for the promotion of good fellowship among its members, for assisting such as may be overtaken by adversity or affliction, for cultivating Masonic ideals, for supporting all patriotic aims and activities in Masonry, for developing true patriotism and Americanism throughout the nation, for bringing together representatives of the uniformed services of the United States (past and present) in a united effort to further the military needs of national defense, and for opposing any influence whatsoever calculated to weaken the national security.
Our members are American Freemasons who serve or have served in the uniformed services. Our purpose is to support each other and promote Patriotic and Masonic activities and values.
History
National Sojourners, Inc., has an unequaled Centennial history. Born of wartime requirements, the desire of displaced military Masons to seek each other’s company, counsel, and aid continued to nurture the Order. Early in 1900, after the North Dakota Regiment departed the Philippines with its Field Lodge dispensation, a group of Masons organized an informal club and named it “Sojourners.”
Our Chapter
Omaha Chapter #19 was formed in 1919. We meet on the Fourth Wednesday of each month at Cascio’s Steakhouse, 1620 South 10th Street, Omaha, Nebraska, beginning with social time at 1800.
