The Supreme Sanctorum of the Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans (AMOS) has officially instituted Thebes Sanctorum No. 327 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, marking a historic moment for the fraternity. During the ceremony, the officers of the newly established Sanctorum were installed into their respective offices, ushering in a new era for AMOS in Canada.

This event is especially momentous as it signifies the return of AMOS to Canadian soil after several years of dormancy. Once a vibrant part of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) landscape in the country, AMOS had experienced a prolonged period of inactivity. The establishment of Thebes Sanctorum No. 327 represents a revival of the spirit of fellowship and camaraderie that AMOS is renowned for as the unofficial playground of the Odd Fellows.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Supreme Monarchos Charlie Stephenson, Supreme Secretary Jay Andre, Supreme Treasurer Joseph Miczak, Samaritan Tom Oushakus and Samaritan Garret Hite. These dedicated Samaritans traveled from the United States to confer the Sanctorum and oversee the installation of its officers, ensuring the event’s success and underscoring the enduring bonds of fraternity across borders.

The reestablishment of the Sanctorun in Canada is a testament to the resilience and unity of the Odd Fellows and AMOS, ensuring that the values of fellowship, community, and tradition continue to thrive for years to come.

With the arrival of the members of the Supreme Sanctorum, the charter members eagerly anticipate receiving the degrees that will officially establish this historic Sanctorum, the first in the Atlantic Provinces. Drawing inspiration from the legacy of Canada’s first Prime Minister and Charter Supreme Monarch John A. Macdonald of Xerxes No. 1, Thebes No. 327 is dedicated to upholding the esteemed values and traditions of AMOS. Together, we embark on this noble journey, committed to spreading joy and goodwill, guided by our enduring maxim, “A Mile of Smiles.”
