We are deeply honored and humbled to share the Apostolic Blessing bestowed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV upon the Supreme Commander, the Chaplain, and all members of the Order of the Alhambra.

This blessing is more than a recognition. It is a renewed call to live our Catholic faith through service to persons with intellectual disabilities, the preservation of our Catholic heritage, and the fellowship that strengthens our members and communities.

For Catholics seeking a meaningful way to serve, grow in faith, and build lasting friendships, the Order of the Alhambra offers a place to belong and a mission worth carrying forward.

May this blessing inspire us to serve with greater humility, devotion, and purpose.

Communication belongs to everyone.

The Order of Alhambra was proud to join the City of La Verne in unveiling the city’s first Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Board at Las Flores Park, home to La Verne’s first inclusive playground.

AAC boards use pictures and symbols to help individuals communicate their needs, choices, thoughts, and feelings. By making communication more accessible, these boards allow children and adults of all abilities to participate more fully in play and community life.

This project reflects the Order of Alhambra’s commitment to serving and supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this important resource possible (especially Ben Ziri Caravan #218!) and proud to contribute to a more welcoming and inclusive community.

If you know of a community that could use an AAC board, please reach out to your local caravan or message us and we will help you!

St. Aloysius Gonzaga gave up a noble inheritance to become a Jesuit - and spent his short life (he died at 23) nursing plague victims in Rome.

He is the patron of youth and of those who care for the sick and vulnerable.

His life poses a question to every generation: What are you willing to give up in order to serve?

For young Catholics looking to live their faith with purpose and community, the Order of Alhambra is open to all Catholics 18 and older. You don't need a résumé; just a heart for service and a desire to belong to something bigger than yourself.

Know a young Catholic who's searching for that? Tag them or share this post.

Congratulations to Ben Ziri Caravan #218 on welcoming two new members during their Initiation Ceremonial on Saturday, June 13, in San Diego!

Following the ceremonial, members attended a special Mass celebrated by the Most Rev. Felipe Pulido, Auxiliary Bishop of San Diego, in honor of the Order of Alhambra and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

It was a wonderful day of faith, fellowship, and celebration. Welcome to our newest members, and enjoy the photos from a great day with friends old and new!

Today the Church celebrates the Ascension - the moment Christ rose beyond sight and, as he left, gave his disciples a commission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations.”
The Ascension is not a farewell. It is a sending.
The disciples stood on that hillside looking up, and then they got to work.

That is what Ascension asks of us every year: stop looking up and start moving out.

The Order of Alhambra has been answering that call since 1904 - serving people with intellectual disabilities, preserving Catholic heritage, and building communities of lasting friendship in His name.

We are still going. Are you ready to join us?

On May 13, 1917, three shepherd children in Portugal saw a vision that would change the Church.

Our Lady of Fátima asked for prayer, penance, and consecration - not because God is distant, but because love always asks something of us.

Over 100 years later, her message is no less urgent. The world still needs people willing to show up in faith, to serve quietly, and to pray with conviction.

The Order of Alhambra was built by people who heard that same call and answered it in service to those with intellectual disabilities. This month, answer a call of your own.
