Memorializing
Catholic History
Catholic History
A major purpose of the Order of Alhambra is to identify, mark, preserve, and commemorate Catholic historical places, events and persons of international or regional importance. Over 160 such memorials have been established in Canada and the United States.
Sociability
Sociability is a dominant characteristic of the Order. It flows from another stated purpose of the Order, namely, “To promote social, fraternal and intellectual associations and through its Caravans provide a practical means to form enduring fellowship and friendship among its members.” The Order is a “fun” organization dedicated to doing worthwhile charitable work.

The Heart of Alhambra
Created from the point of view of a child with a down syndrome brother, this short animated film was made by three 12-15 year old filmakers in response to their real world experiences working with special needs individuals.
The Order of the Alhambra, Inc. applauds the efforts of Emily Hogan, Jessica Hogan, and Adam Dawdy for their film promoting the charitable work the Order and helping those special people of God with intellectual challenges.
