Grand Commanders Message

Saints are usually commemorated on the day of their going to heaven, which in the early times of Christianity often coincided with their martyrdom. However, the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, one of the two eminent Christian patrons in Freemasonry, has had a unique status since the Church’s first centuries, with his birth, six months before that of Jesus, also being celebrated.

From the Grand Prelate

We are at that time of year when our Commandery activities tend to slow down. Less meetings, less activities take place during the Summer. Many of us will have some time away in the few months. It is a time of rest and refreshment.
