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.

EVENTS

Delve into the rich traditions of Freemasonry as we gather to celebrate our shared values and principles

WHERE WE MEET

Our meetings are held on the 1st Saturday of March, June, September and December, at 60 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AZ. they usually start at 11am thus providing members ample time to travel to London to join the meetings. The June meeting is the installation meeting.

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

At a very well attended meeting of St Catherine's Park Lodge No 2899, on Friday 25th April, W Bro Tim Spriggs Met GInsp presented 50-Year Certificates to W Bros Victor Bargery and Peter Morrison.

He then joined his father’s Lodge, St Catherine’s Park, in 1977 – his father was also Master of St Catherine’s Park Lodge in 1980. Bro Vic married Eve in 1971, has three children and nine grandchildren and is an avid Arsenal supporter. He served as Master of the Lodge in 1988 & 2003.

W Bro Peter Morrison SLGR PProv AGDC (Herts) pipped Vic to the post, being born in 1947, but was Initiated into St. Catherine’s Park Lodge three months after Vic on 2nd April 1975, was raised on 2nd November 1976 and served in the Chair in 1986 and 2015.
