WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE

WORSHIPFUL BROTHER MICHAEL R PINO

Brethren,

“BROTHER. In the lodge, Masons always call each other brother; and the poorest among them, even the serving brethren, dare not address them by any other title, although they may fill the highest offices in the state, or even be monarchs. Out of the lodge, in the presence of strangers, the word brother may be dropped; but when a brother meets a brother, even out of the lodge and no other person is present, then the title of brother must not be omitted. It must be much more agreeable to every brother to be called by that endearing name than to be addressed by the title of your Excellency or Mr., as well in the lodge as out of it when no strangers are present. No one hath a brother except he be a brother himself.”  Dictionary of Symbolic Masonry [1853]

 

   My brothers March has been a very busy mouth we have had a raising, spaghetti dinner and two District Lodges of Instruction one for newly raised brothers plus our regular one.

   The raising a wonderful night for or new brothers, thank you all for coming out and special thanks to The Past Masters and visitor for conferring the degree everyone had a good time.

   The spaghetti dinner. Thank you all for buying tickets and working so hard to make it a success, we serviced over one hundred and seventy dinners. Russ and Linda thank you.

            Fraternally: Michael R. Pino, Worshipful Master
