A Fraternal Welcome to our newest Entered Apprentices

March 7th, 2018 Posted by Uncategorized 0 thoughts on “A Fraternal Welcome to our newest Entered Apprentices”

St. Paul’s #14 is pleased to welcome 3 new brothers into our gentle craft.  The officers of the lodge performed the degree admirably and hopefully will leave a lasting impression on our brethren.  In addition to the degree the lodge was able to welcome our newest Master Mason as he signed the by-laws of the lodge and became an official member.  Following a standing ovation Bro. Bernier was given a pin and trowel and was reminded to continue to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection and was thanked for his work on the new website and for his assistance with the EA degree.

It was an enjoyable night and we hope to see you soon!

Newly Elected Master & Officers

January 25th, 2018 Posted by Uncategorized 0 thoughts on “Newly Elected Master & Officers”

On January 25, 2018 St. Paul’s Lodge #14 held its annual election of officers.  The installation of those officers took place with brothers both within and without the district and friends and family in attendance.  RW Robert Palazzo, District Deputy Grand Master of the East Bay and his Grand Master of Ceremonies, W Brad Ripley installed all officers with W Andrew Giovannini, Assistant Grand Lecturer providing an excellent prologue.

After the installation, Worshipful Master Joshua P. Manfredo gave an opening address and stressed the importance of remembering that the night was for the lodge and expressed optimism and hope for the ensuing year.

The lodge looks forward to what is in store and we hope as many brethren as possible can make it out and join us as we embark upon an exciting year.

November Meeting & Notes

November 7th, 2017 Posted by Uncategorized 0 thoughts on “November Meeting & Notes”

As has been posted to the brethren, our regular communication for November will be held on the 14th. This will surely be a meeting to attend. Our officers have been hard at work perfecting the Fellow Craft Degree and will enjoy your support. More importantly, however, is to support your newest brothers as they move through their degrees.

This month is a busy month. On the 7th and 8th, there are back to back District Deputy Visitations to Adelphoi and St. Albans, respectively. Per protocol, the suite will be received at 7:15 PM. In addition there is also the Grand Lodge Semi-Annual and Fall Festival. Visit the Grand Lodge website www.rimasons.org for more information.

Being so close to Naval Station Newport, we want to express our thanks to all of our veterans this month especially our brethren who have served, as Veterans Day is celebrated on the 11th. On this date, a wreath laying ceremony will be held at the RI Veteran’s Cemetery at 10:00 AM with a breakfast at 8:30 AM at Mt. Vernon’s Lodge.

The year is coming to an end fast, as a reminder, St. Paul’s Annual Communication will be held on January 25th so please mark your calendars. Our December meeting is starting to take shape as the Master prepares an enjoyable program and our January Stated is also taking shape as well.

See you at the lodge!
