It is hard to conceive of any Masonic Ritual more beautiful or inspiring. We meet together to break the bread of fraternity, to reconcile ourselves with those we have offended, and to drink the wine of refreshment and renewal. This year we will be “Memorializing” our recently departed Brethren.
We hope you will join us for an excellent meal, beautiful harp music, and an “Inspiring” Ceremony to honor our recently departed Brethren.
