A message from the Worshipful Master

Manasseh Family, I hope that everyone had a great Holiday and New Year’s Seasons and is ready to dive back and get into the great work of polishing our ashlars! 

I want to thank all the Brothers and friends who have traveled to the various Installations, visits to our Youth Groups, and most notably, our trip to the Grand Lodge of New Jersey’s Winter Education Seminar. We had a great time with over 200 Brothers and a surprise trip to the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia, which is one of the Wonders of the Masonic World.

We are going to be quite busy in February! We will be holding our February Stated Communication on Friday, February 3, 2023 at 7:30 pm, with Dinner at 6:30 pm. Our Program for February’s Stated Communication will be none other than our very own Right Worshipful Brother Clancy Nidell, who will be visiting our Lodge on his Homecoming and Official Visit! Dinner will be catered by Mission BBQ, and service will be provided by the Ladies of Manassas Assembly No. 13, I.O.R.G.

Later in the month, we will be traveling with RWB Clancy on his other Official Visits and will be attending the local Division Leadership Conference at Kena Shriners. Also, stay tuned for information about the historic Cornerstone
Reenactment at the GW Masonic Memorial!

May the Great Architect of the Universe continue to keep you, hold you in His embrace, surround you with Providence, and bestow unto you the blessings of Brotherly Love and genuine affection. May He continue to shower you with Grace and a Love that knows no bounds.
 
γενηθητω φως Let There Be Light


Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
