Master's Message January 2021

Hello Brethren,

Well, it looks like we have managed to get through 2020.  I for one thought that this year would never end.  With the New Year comes the promise of better days.  I want to thank everyone for their efforts during this Pandemic.  Although it was challenging in many ways, you, as Masons, have managed to persevere in the face of this crisis.  We still managed to meet virtually, we still performed acts of charity, we still lived our lives within the dictates our be-liefs.  Thank you to all and may 2021 bring better days to all of us.    

As always, yours in the Craft,

J. Pat Paolo,
Worshipful Master

Greetings from the Senior Warden,

The Annual Communication is rapid-ly approaching.  It appears that we will still be meeting virtually for the next few months until the COVID Vaccine can be widely distributed.  We will not allow this to slow us down.  I have making plans to have a number of programs which will be presented regardless of whether or not we meet in person.  The Grand Lodge is working on ways to ballot on applications within a virtual meeting and we have at least one application in the pipeline.  Your Officers are looking forward to performing the Degrees and I’m certain that we will live up to the standards that have been demonstrated over the past 100+ years.

Now I know that some of you may feel silly to be wearing a jacket and tie to attend a Virtual Meeting, that is not as im-portant as you being there.  So please, if you feel this way, a collared shirt will suffice.  I look forward to seeing you all at the Virtual Annual.

James McCarthy Jr.
Senior Warden
