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. Braga Caravan No. 114 chartered in Mt. Clemens, MI has been serving the community since 1956.
OUR MISSION 1. To promote fraternalism and sociability among members and their families. 2. Identify, mark, preserve, and commemorate Catholic historical places, events and persons of international importance. 3. Assist the intellectually and developmentally disabled.
We host field trips, boat rides, circus trips, picnics, Christmas parties, dances, etc. and provide scholarships to students pursuing careers teaching the cognitively impaired. With the Caravans of the Great Lakes Region we also maintain “Alhambra Houses” for the intellectually and developmentally disabled and operate St. Francis Camp on the Lake which provides them with a very special summer experience.
