Brotherly Love and Masonic Morals
The ceremony reminded all present of the timeless Masonic principles — Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
Brethren were encouraged to lead by example, to practice charity, and to remain upright in both private and public
life. These moral teachings, passed down through generations, form the cornerstone of the Lodge’s work in the
community and inspire members and their families to live with integrity and service.
The evening concluded with a festive dinner where Brethren, spouses, and partners joined together in fellowship.
Worshipful Master Human shared his guiding theme for the year:
"Humility is the strength of true courage."
The strong presence of families highlighted the inclusive spirit of the Lodge and set a tone of unity and growth for
the coming year.
