Brothers

As the summer begins we look back to the first half on the year, we're reminded of the fellowship, service, and traditions that continue to strengthen our lodge and our community.

From degree work and special events to charitable efforts and time spent together in brotherhood each moment represents the values we strive to uphold as freemasons.

We are greatful for the dedication of our members, the support of our families, and the friendships that make our lodge such a special place.

Thankyou to everyone who has been apart of our journey so far this year. We look forward to continuing our work, growing together, and making an even greater impact during the rest of 2026
