The 2nd October 2018 marks the 175th Anniversary of the founding of St. John\u2019s Lodge No. 492 ER and on Sunday 30th September last a large number of Freemasons gathered at the Cathedral of St. John The Divine to commence the year long<\/g> celebration under the theme \u201cProclaiming the Good of Freemasonry\u201d. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The celebrations were led by District Grand Master Designate, Worshipful Brother Clement E. M. Bird who gave a brief history of the Lodge to an attentive Church. He welcomed as well members of the other local lodges – under the English Constitution, Caribbee Lodge No. 2829 and Waladli Lodge No. 9887, as well as St. Michael\u2019s Lodge No. 19 of the Prince Hall Constitution who had joined in the celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His message sought to demystify Freemasonry as a whole while stressing its key objects of brotherly love, charity and<\/g> honour<\/g>. Church-goers and passers-by were treated to the unfamiliar sight of more than 50 Freemasons in full regalia parading along Church and Newgate Streets to attend the Service of Thanksgiving. Church was followed by a celebratory Brunch at the Lodge Building at St. John\u2019s Street. On Saturday 5th October,<\/g> 2018 the lodge will host a Cocktail reception at the Cortsland<\/g> Hotel. The highlight of the evening will be to raise funds through a number of auctions. The funds so raised will be presented to a designated charitable purpose.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The members of the lodge will be joined by family, well-wishers, widows of the Lodge and specially invited guests. The Lodge will also during the first quarter of its year-long celebrations, publish its 175th Commemorative Magazine expected to be ready for distribution during the month of December 2018.<\/p>
