WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?

One of the oldest secular social and charitable organisations in the world, modern Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our castles and cathedrals…

The lodge has held several social events such as witnessing the Tower of London Keys ceremony a lady’s festival at a hotel usually outside of London that provides opportunity for our families to enjoy the company that these types of events provide. Importantly we maintain links with the regiment and serving soldiers.

ABOUT

The Parachute Regiment Lodge was consecrated on 5th June 1989. Though named for our Regiment the decision was taken not to restrict membership to serving or former members, though the majority do fit that criteria. Our membership is drawn from a wide range of military, security and civilian backgrounds who all adopt our ethos, to be the best in all that we do…

ARENA

Engage in enlightening discussions, partake in meaningful rituals, and forge lasting connections with fellow brethren

On Friday 30 November the Metropolitan Grand Master, Sir Michael Snyder, welcomed representatives from London’s charities to Freemasons Hall to present the latest batch of awards on behalf of the Metropolitan Masonic Charity.

Engaging with the attendees Sir Michael commented on the “broad range of charities present and the extraordinary and often moving stories they have to share”. The commendable work they do in relation to how they provide respite, care and relief from suffering for so many people and how with our donations we make a significant difference to each of them.

David Neale from the Metropolitan Communications team explained the benefits of these opportunities and how they enable us to build strong relationships between Freemasonry and the charities. These events give us valuable publicity and even generate candidates from those attending or reading about the fantastic work we do, they want to be part of it.
After refreshments, the event concluded with a guided tour of the library / museum and a special viewing of Lodge room No 10.
