Serious Masons. Serious Fun.
Welcome to O Ton Ta La Grotto No. 136
Northwest Ohio’s Chapter of the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm (M.O.V.P.E.R). Often called the “Master Masons Playground”, the Grotto focuses strictly on good-fellowship, laughter, and camaraderie, offering a space where brothers can unwind and let loose after the serious moral instruction of the Blue Lodge. It brings together Master Masons from many different local lodges, helping you build a broader network of friends across your community and the wider region. We host a variety of social gatherings and family-friendly activities where spouses and children can participate.
What we stand for
Brotherly Support
Truth, everlasting and unchanging, is the foundation on which it is erected, and on this basis its votaries by bonds of brotherhood which are mutually helpful and beneficent.

Fellowship
The Grotto leads its votaries through an Enchanted Realm where the spirit of mirth touches the hearts and evolves cheerful companionship, in the joy of which they are brought near together in helpful sympathy, which is nonetheless true because the eye beams with delight and laughter go with a Prophet’s greeting when hand clasps hand in its mystic fellowship.
Helping Hands
The Grotto not only focuses on its own but also those in need. This is The Humanitarian Foundation. The Grottoes International Humanitarian Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that brings “Special Smiles” to children with special needs by providing them with much-needed dental care.
