BURLINGTON SONS OF ITALY

Our Burlington Lodge is a cross section of our community and is involved in a diverse set of community activities and charitable efforts. For example, we provide scholarships to deserving graduates of Burlington High School. Other charitable efforts consist of annual donations from money raised at our fund-raising events to the National Alzheimer�s Association, Cooley�s Anemia (Thalassemia- a group of genetic disorders), Don Orione Home and Madonna Queen Shrine for elderly men and women in need of extended medical care and Casa Monte Cassino, whose humanitarian mission is to provide free housing and vital services to those who have brought their blind infants for treatment in hopes of addressing and curing retinopathy... The Massachusetts Grand Lodge was established in 1914 and the Burlington Lodge #2223 was established in 1970. The motto of our Order throughout its history always has been �Liberty, Equality and Fraternity�.
