Why Join?

One of the staples of being Italian is our sense of community. Now more than ever do people long for that sense of oneness and connection. The St. Expedite Lodge seeks out to provide that and more! The St. Expedite Lodge is more than just your nonno's Italian club. Here are just a few of the things that the St. Expedite Lodge is a part of:

​

• Member of the American Italian Federation of the Southeast (AIFEDSE)

• Recipient of National Italian American Foundation's (NIAF) Voyage of Discovery (VOD) annual scholarship

• Proud partner with the Italian American Future Leaders (IAFL)

What do I get from joining?

Here are some of the benefits of joining the St. Expedite Lodge:
