Shrine Units

Action, Tradition, and Service in the Heart of the Shrine

The units of Medinah Shriners are the heartbeat of our temple, bringing energy, creativity, and a spirit of fun to everything we do. From parade performances to ceremonial duties, our units are known throughout Illinois and the world for their dedication to fellowship, philanthropy, and the support of Shriners Hospitals for Children. Each unit offers members a chance to serve, lead, and represent the Shrine in the community.

Whether you’re a new member or a seasoned Noble, there’s a unit that matches your interests and talents. Take a look below to see the many ways you can get involved and help us continue our proud history of service and celebration.
