El Paso’s historic Magnolia Court #28 of the Heroines of Jericho is celebrating an extraordinary milestone — 125 years of service and sisterhood — on Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Starlight Event Center, 6550 Continental Dr., El Paso, TX 79925.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased via PayPal at magnoliacourtno28@yahoo.com. Attire for the evening is semi-formal, and RSVPs are requested by July 26, 2025 to Sonya Wilkes (sonyawilkes2@gmail.com) and LaTanja Goff (steelelatanja@gmail.com).
Magnolia Court #28 stands as a proud affiliate of Prince Hall Freemasonry, a legacy founded in 1775 by Prince Hall, a formerly enslaved abolitionist who sought to create opportunities for African Americans to join the Masonic tradition. The Heroines of Jericho, first adopted in Texas in 1897, became the first female Masonic house under the Texas Prince Hall Masons. Named after Rahab, the Heroine of Jericho in the Book of Joshua, the organization is dedicated to service, community uplift, and philanthropy — from providing college scholarships to supporting youth programs and aiding those in need.
This celebration will honor their 125 years of commitment to faith, service, and empowerment — a remarkable journey that has enriched the lives of countless individuals in El Paso and beyond.
Join Magnolia Court #28 for an unforgettable evening of history, honor, and celebration!
