A message from the Worshipful Master

Manasseh Family, I hope everyone is enjoying the final days of Winter, as we move into the longer and warmer days of Spring! A special blessing our Brothers and Sisters who celebrate this coming Passover, as well as the Lenten and Easter Seasons!

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for our March Stated Communication! It was a great evening and well attended, and we enjoyed the wonderful program by Worshipful Brother Jason Richards. A special welcome to our
newest Entered Apprentice, who was Initiated on March 31, 2025.

Please visit our website for the online application for our 2025 Manasseh Family Scholarships! It can be found at: https://manassehlodge182.org/scholarships

This month brings us back to another busy season, as we will be hosting another Entered Apprentice Degree later in the month, as well the Official Visit of the Grand High Priest to the 17th Masonic District on April 5th, as well as the Joint Kena and Manasseh Bunny Bash and Easter Egg Hunt on April 12, 2025. We also have another installment of the Masonic Book Club, so please be on the lookout for the Punchbowl invitations for all these events.

Our April Stated Communication will be held on Friday, April 4, 2025, and will consist of the usual business followed by a special program by our dear friend, Worshipful Brother Kevin Homan from Olive Branch Lodge No. 114. This month’s dining will be catered Mediterranean and we’ll be requesting a $15.00 donation for dinner.

May the Great Architect of the Universe watch over you, surround you with His eternal care, shower you with boundless blessings, and grant you the virtues of Brotherly Love and heartfelt fellowship.

Yours in Brotherhood,
