Welcome to Persian Temple #46

The Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America and its Jurisdictions Incorporated (AEAONMS) better known as PRINCE HALL SHRINEDOM, embraces all of the basic fundamental concepts of the Masonic Order, but is more colorful, with a broader spectrum of visibility by the manner in which it dispenses charity in the community, and the care for its own.

John George Jones, the founder, is said to have been introduced to the ritualistic mysteries of the Order by one Ali Rofelt Pasha, Deputy and representative from the Grand Council of Arabia, during the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.

Persian Temple #46 was organized and chartered in 1906 and was one of the original founding temples in the domain. As the largest temple in the desert of Indiana Persian continues to grow and expand its many programs and charitable initiatives including support of the American Diabetes Association, The Circle City Classic, Indiana Black Expo, The Salvation Army and their annual Voter Registration Campaign.

The hall is also available for rentals please contact Noble Robert Apple at 317.924.5477 for more information on cost and availability.
