Worshipful Master's Message - December 2024

Each month, the Worshipful Master provides an update on current events in relation to Freemasonry in general and Lodge No. 2 in particular. Please see below for this month’s message from the Worshipful Master of Lodge No. 2.

Brethren,

It is with great honor and humility that I am pleased to serve Lodge No. 2 again for the ensuing Masonic year, beginning St. John’s Day next. As we exit 2024 with the memories you have shared during our times of fellowship, 2025 will be another opportunity to strengthen our fraternal bonds.

Beginning in January, our Stated and Extra Meeting meals will be held at Maggiano’s Little Italy with dinner starting promptly at 5:30 p.m.: RSVPs ARE REQUIRED! As we have our Ritual Rehearsal and Mentorship Classes held at Front Street Cafe—typically the last Saturday of the month, except in June and July—Mitchell Lodge No. 81 has extended to us an invitation to participate in their monthly Education Night (the fourth Thursday of each month at Jenkintown Masonic Temple) with dinner at 5:30 p.m. at Newbolds Food & Libations. Mitchell Lodge No. 81 has been a great partner with Lodge No. 2 with joint events that will continue throughout the year.

As a reminder, our June Anniversary will be held at Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse ($25.00 per individual; $40.00 per couple) with the Stated Meeting starting at 6:00 p.m., and dinner to follow at 7:15 p.m. All RSVPs and payments must be received by Tues., 13-May-2025. Please be mindful that the dress code at the Philadelphia Masonic Temple is business formal

If you have not done so already, please log-in to Grand View to update your contact information. Lastly, annual membership dues must be paid in full on or before Fri., 27-Dec-2024 at 12:00 p.m. Dues may be paid either in-person at our December Stated Meeting or online as a one-time or recurring payment.

All the best,

Peter B. Lavelle, P.M.
