🍂 A Thanksgiving Message from the American Canadian Grand Lodge 🍂

As many of our American Brethren and their families gather today to celebrate Thanksgiving, the American Canadian Grand Lodge extends warm greetings to all.

Though Thanksgiving is rooted in American tradition, its deeper meaning resonates with Brethren from every culture and nationality: taking a moment to reflect on our blessings, to appreciate the people who enrich our lives, and to express gratitude openly and sincerely.

In the ACGL, we are honored to be a Brotherhood made up of many backgrounds — American, Canadian, German, Turkish, French, Romanian, Italian, and beyond. Yet we are united by shared values: Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. These bonds remind us that gratitude is universal and kindness knows no borders.

Today, we invite all Brethren, wherever you may be, to pause and reflect on what — and who — you are thankful for. And if your gratitude rests with a Brother, family member, or friend, take a moment to tell them. A simple word of thanks can be deeply meaningful.

From our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Arda, and the Grand Line, we wish each of you and your families a warm, peaceful, and reflective Thanksgiving Day.

Fraternally,
The American Canadian Grand Lodge AF&AM

Dear Brethren,

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of our beloved Brother, Most Worshipful Past Grand Master Paul Curran, Grand Secretary of the ACGL. He has laid down his working tools and entered the Celestial Lodge above, where the Great Architect of the Universe awaits him.

Brother Paul served our Fraternity with unwavering dedication, wisdom, and love. His contributions to the Craft and his tireless efforts in strengthening our bonds will forever be cherished. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were privileged to know and labor alongside him.

Let us honor his memory by continuing to uphold the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth that he so faithfully embodied. May we all find comfort in the knowledge that his work here was completed in harmony and that he now rests in eternal peace.

The Grand Master has ordered that the Altars be draped in black until 21 March 2025 to honor MW Paul.

Further details will follow.

Fraternally and respectfully,

Thomas Litz
Grand Master
