Nineteenth West Masonic District

---

Fraternal greetings!! 

 As I write to you today, I come to realize we are standing on the precipice of a historic milestone—the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America. This occasion is not only a celebration of our nation’s legacy, but it is also an opportunity for us, as Masons, to reflect up our deeply integral role in shaping the principles of liberty, unity, and brotherhood that have been the foundations of our nation.

The Grand Lodge has planned an array of distinguished events to commemorate this historic anniversary, and I encourage all brethren of the 19th Masonic District to participate and engage in these gatherings. Grand Lodge has listed these events on the MassMasons.org calendar page. Please take the time to review them.

The events leading up to the 250th anniversary are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and it is our duty as Masons to represent our heritage and celebrate it with the honor and dignity it deserves. Let’s take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the principles of Masonry, strengthen our bonds as brethren and demonstrate to the world the enduring values of Freemasonry.

I encourage each of you to actively participate in these events and to spread the word among our brothers, make it a Lodge event with the goal to attend these events as a Lodge. Let's continue to uphold the traditions of our fraternity and inspire future generations to walk in the light of Freemasonry.

Fraternally,

 R.W. Lawrence S. Santos, Jr.

District Deputy Grand Master
