  On behalf of the members of the Wilmington Sons of Italy, I want to welcome you to our web-site. On this site you will be able to learn more about the Sons of Italy not only on the local level, but on the state and national levels as well.

  The purpose of our organization is to enroll all eligible persons so that we may successfully promote our Italian culture and national education; to organize programs for patriotic and humanitarian purposes; to combat discrimination while protecting the positive image and the prestige of people of Italian heritage; and to secure adequate laws for the benefit of our members.

  I would like to extend an invitation to all Italian-Americans and non-Italian-Americans who would be interested in learning more about our beloved Order. Please feel free to browse our web-site, the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts' web-site and the web-site of the National lodge. If you have any questions or would like to join the Sons of Italy, you can contact us at lodge2183@osiama.org or call 978-657-8572.

Fraternally yours,
