About Us | the Order of Alhambra
The International Order of Alhambra founded in 1904, is a social and charitable Catholic organization of men and women (age 18 and over) dedicated to assisting God's special children, the intellectually and developmentally disabled. Barcelona Caravan chartered in Dearborn, MI has been serving the community since 1960.
OUR MISSION
- Promoting fraternalism and sociability among members and their families.
- Identify, mark, preserve, and commemorate Catholic historical places, events and persons of international importance.
- Assist the intellectually and developmentally disabled.
Caravans of the Order host field trips, boat rides, circus trips, picnics, Christmas parties, dances, etc. and provide scholarships to students pursuing careers teaching the cognitively impaired. Along with the Caravans of the Great Lakes Region we also maintain “Alhambra Houses” for the intellectual and developmentally disabled and operate St. Francis Camp on the Lake which provides a very special summer experience.
