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

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

Each year, Freemasonry provides support to a wide variety of youth organisations and charities. Previous grants have seen £500,000 donated to provide start-up funds for new Scout Association units across the country. Donations have been made at District level and individual unit level to the Air Cadets, Sea Cadets, Scouts and Girl Guides.

Individual Lodges also support local units such as that provided by Templars Lodge No. 4302, and Templars Chapter No. 4302, who settled on the St. Pancras Girl Guides and the 8th Holborn Scouts. On 23rd March 2015, Jane Palmer, the Divisional Commander of the St. Pancras Girl Guides, was presented with a cheque for £500 from Templars Lodge whilst E. Comp John Webber IPZ presented a cheque in the same amount to Julian Fulbrook, the Leader of the 8th Holborn Scouts.

Both donations will be used by the groups to subsidise children who otherwise might not be able to go on trips as they come from deprived backgrounds. This, the Lodge and Chapter hope, will be the start of an ongoing relationship with those organisations and although we might not be able to donate £1000 every single year, we will donate as much as possible to assist those children who need it the most.
