Welcome to the Order Sons of Italy Website!

The Order Sons of Italy of Canada is an organization of men and women devoted to a number of principals which are more specifically set out in the Mission Statement found in this web site.

It was formed in New York City in 1905 by Dr. Vincenzo Sellaro and a small group of individuals devoted to caring for the Italian immigrant in the early days of the twentieth century.

The first lodge in Canada was formed in 1915 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The Sons of Italy has grown in strength and numbers since that time. It is currently a multi-faceted and dynamic organization serving the needs of the community in general. Its endeavors currently include public housing, retirement and nursing homes, charitable fund raising and giving, and support of the arts and the promotion of Italian culture.

With the launch of this web site we move into the new millennium with the hope and goal that many young men and women will join our ranks and learn with us that their experience in the Sons of Italy will be extremely rewarding from a personal point of view.

In addition to prospective members we welcome all to contact us if they are interested in learning more about the Sons of Italy.
