As we reach the third quarter of 2024, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each of you. As we come back from our summer break feeling refreshed both physically and mentally, I want to take a minute to reflect on the great work that we have done so far this year. This period has been one of growth, reflection, and steadfast dedication to our principles.

In these past months, we have deepened our understanding of our craft and strengthened the bonds of brotherly love and friendship that unite us. Our meetings have been marked by insightful discussions, and our work in the community has been a shining example of our commitment to the betterment of humanity.

This quarter, we have also seen new brothers join our ranks, bringing fresh perspectives and renewed energy to the craft. I ask each of you to take these new brothers under your wing, to guide them, and to help them grow in their Masonic journey. Remember, the strength of our Lodge lies in the unity and diversity of its members.

As we prepare for the final quarter of the year, let us reflect on our personal goals and how they align with our Masonic obligations. Are we living as upright men and Masons? Are we embodying the teachings of our rituals in our daily lives? These are questions we must ask ourselves as we strive to be better men, better Masons, and better servants to our community. 

I look forward to the remainder of this year with optimism and a renewed sense of purpose. Together, we can achieve great things.

Fraternally Yours,
