  The Order of the Easter Star (OES) is a fraternal organization that brings together men and women to promote moral values, charity, education, and service to others. We are a Fraternal, non-profit, charitable service organization. The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonic-affiliated organization open to women and men. It is dedicated to charitable work, personal growth, and community service, using lessons from biblical heroines and heroes to teach principles such as love, fidelity, faith hope and charity.

  • Service-oriented: OES supports charities, scholarships, youth programs, and community needs.

  • Values-based: It teaches ethical living, compassion, and integrity through symbolism and ritual.

  • Family-inclusive: It allows men and women to work together in a fraternal setting while serving in support of youth programs for males (DeMolay) and Females (International Order of Rainbow for girls and Jobs’ daughters).

  • Community-focused: Members are encouraged to give back locally and beyond.

  • Supportive-fellowship: It offers friendship, mutual support, and personal enrichment.

  Our Organization was established in 1850. Our Local Chapter was chartered in 1942 and has actively supported our members and significant Community needs for more than 83 years.

  Every step makes a difference.

  Join us for the Run for Refuge 5K and help bring hope, healing, and transformation to men and women experiencing homelessness in our community. This family-friendly race supports the life-changing work of Peninsula Rescue Mission, where individuals find safe shelter, hot meals, Christ-centered care, and a pathway toward restored lives.

  Whether you are a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or walking with friends and family, your participation directly impacts those seeking refuge from crisis and hardship. Proceeds from the race support emergency shelter, long-term recovery programs, and our growing outreach to women with nowhere else to turn.

  This is more than a race — it is a movement of compassion. Together, we can run toward a future where every person has a place to belong and the opportunity to rebuild.

  Lace up your shoes. Invite your friends. Run for refuge.

  Just in time for Christmas, this thrilling two-loop course invites runners and walkers alike to wind through campus and the woods behind Peninsula Catholic High School, all decked out in Christmas lights and full of holiday cheer. Best of all, 100% of registration profits (after costs) will be donated to charity.

  But which charity? A number of teams will be competing for a grand prize: the right to choose which charity will receive 50% of the race registration profits. No matter what, the other 50% of race profits (and donations) will go straight to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. You don't have to be a part of a team to race, walk, or donate. We encourage participants of every skill level to come out and participate, build community, and make a positive impact!

  The race is hosted PCYT, a club with a mission to teach teenagers that community service and acts of kindness can be fun. To see examples of their good work like helping the police clean up a beach, packing lunches to feed the homeless, or donating a car to refugees, check out their YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@peninsulacatholicyoutube
