During the Summer of 2023, Roniel Aragon, a Mason and father, embarked on a remarkable journey, traveling halfway across the globe to secure life-altering surgery and rehabilitation for his daughter at Shriners Children’s—Hawaii. While Noble Roniel arrived in Hawaii as a stranger, today he has officially become a member of the Shriners family, all thanks to an incredible collaboration between the Aloha Shriners and Abou Saad Shriners.

Noble Roniel’s aspiration is to become an advocate of our organization’s international mission, working diligently to grow Shriners International and Shriners Children’s in his mother country, which currently does not have an active Shriners presence. At present, Noble Roniel holds membership in both the Aloha Shriners and Abou Saad Shriners. He was initially introduced to the Shriners’ world through the Aloha Shriners during his stay in Hawaii, while Abou Saad Shriners represents his home country’s Shrine Temple.
