More New Zealand Cornerstone Lodge (NZCL) merch is coming soon.
Our new tie, bow tie, and pocket square set will be available first at our Palmerston North meeting.

Sharp, understated, and unmistakably NZCL.

In a fortnight, New Zealand Cornerstone Lodge (NZCL) will hold its Make-up Installation Meeting, providing the opportunity to formally invest and install those Officers who were unable to be invested at our Constitution and Dedication meeting.

This will be a significant and uplifting occasion in the life of the Lodge, and an important moment for those Brethren concerned. All Brethren are warmly encouraged to attend and support the Officers and the Lodge.

Please ensure you are registered to attend.

As we farewell 2025, New Zealand Cornerstone Lodge (NZCL) wishes all Brethren, their families, and friends a very happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

The past year has been about laying solid foundations. We have taken time to plan carefully, listen widely, and ensure that our direction is clear and purposeful.

As we move into 2026, the real work begins. This is the year we start delivering on our commitment to support new and young Freemasons across New Zealand. With several initiatives and projects to be announced, we are looking forward to an active and meaningful year ahead.

Thank you to everyone who has supported NZCL so far. We look forward to what we can achieve together in 2026.

A good night out for the brethren of New Zealand Cornerstone Lodge as we headed over to Te Aroha Lodge for a 3rd Degree ceremony.

Great to be there supporting the candidate and the lodge, and even better with the Grand Master in attendance at his Mother Lodge. Solid work, good company, and another strong showing from Cornerstone.

There was a great turnout of The New Zealand Cornerstone Lodge members last week for the initiation of Bro Nick Tuck at Manawatū Kilwinning Lodge in Palmerston North.

Fantastic to see such strong support on the sidelines and a really solid night of work. Well done, Nick.

Congratulations to WBro Gareth Far, who was Installed as Master of Lodge Otaihape No. 142.

Members of New Zealand Cornerstone Lodge were honoured to be present and support our Brother on this special occasion. A great evening of fellowship, ritual excellence, and celebrating the continued strength of Freemasonry in the region.

Wishing Gareth a successful and rewarding term in the Chair.

Today, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause to remember all those who served, sacrificed, and never returned.

Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the courage of those who gave everything for the freedoms we enjoy today and to honour the families and communities who carried on in their absence.

We remember them. Lest We Forget.
