Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts.

Official Summons To All Sovereign Grand Inspectors General and Grand Inspectors General of the Thirty Third and Last Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottih Rite of Freemasonry and Honorary Members of the United Supreme Council, Prince Hall Affiliation, Northern Jurisdiction, USA., Inc. Take Due Notice The One Hundred and Thirtieth Annual Session of the United Supreme Council since the Union will be held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, 1550 Court Place - Denver, Colorado, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 2011 . BY ORDER OF SOLOMON WALLACE, 33° Sovereign Grand Commander Attest: Lorenzo Cruger, Sr. 33° Secretary General H.E. 3 SPRING BULLETIN FFFromFrom the Secretary General, H.E. S.G.I.G. Lorenzo Cruger, 3333˚˚˚˚ As you are aware we will be meeting in the great city of Denver, Colorado this year. There are some things that you should know about the area. First it is a beautiful place to visit. If you have not been around mountains before you will enjoy the view. However, the air is thinner, which means that you should be careful not to exert yourselves while there. It is a great area for shopping and just looking around. You may want to spend a couple of extra days just to enjoy the area. You are not too far from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, which is a great place to visit. The snow capped mountains in Colorado are great for sightseeing. There can be big differences in temperature at the top of the mountains than on the lower levels, so if you decide to go up to the mountains dress for it. From the Cathedral Secretary S.G.I.G. Raynard W. Hughes, 3333˚˚˚˚ It is with humble submission that I greet you. I would like to give all praises to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for all his many blessings bestowed upon me. As the dew lies upon the earth and the sun brings forth a new day let us usher in the season of spring with energy and enrichment. We continue to marvel and embrace the leadership of our Sovereign Grand Commander Solomon Wallace. We held our Annual Deputies Conference at the Cathedral, and I must say the deputies were excited about being hosted in their own facility without restrictions. As I have stated in the past our Cathedral is not only our headquarters but it is a shining beacon throughout the United Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Prince Hall Affiliation, Northern Jurisdiction, U.S.A. Inc. We look forward to greeting you when you are in the Philadelphia area, and hope that you and your families will find time to visit and reflect on our historical heritage. The Cathedral is open daily for operations. However, if you are thinking about touring The Cathedral, the hours are as follows: Monday – Friday, 10:00AM – 3:30PM, and weekends by appointments (for large groups). If you are thinking about touring the facility, please contact us at 215-545-2443.

  • Episode 20 Prince Hall
    Prince Hall , The history Prince Hall, our founder, was one of our great Americans, a worthy Grand Master associated with our first Grand Lodge and its expansion. His name is carried by our masonic organizations in the United States, and by thousands of freemasons who regard themselves as descendants from the Grand Lodge of England, from which he received his authority more than two centuries ago. We in America celebrated in 1976 the two hundredth anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. This is also the two hundred and first (201st) anniversary of the founding of Prince Hall Masonry. It is a monument to Prince Hall’s life, career and leadership. It was a significant event in Freemasonry on March 6, 1775, when Prince Hall and fourteen other men were initiated into Freemasonry through Warrant No. 459, which is still in our possession. John Batt, who was of the 38th Foot Regiment of the British Army, having enlisted in 1759 and learning of the American cause, re-enlisted in its army. The enlistees were Prince Hall, Cyrus Johnston, Bueston Slinger, Prince Rees, John Canton, Peter Freeman, Benjamin Tiler, Duff Ruform, Thomas Santerson, Prince Rayden, Cato Speain, Boston Smith, Peter Best, Forten Horward, and Richard Titley. The writer has this record. A permit was issued for these freemasons to meet as African Lodge No. 1, and they became the first Black freemasons in the United States. Prince Hall enlisted and served as a soldier in the 2nd and 6th Regiments of Massachusetts. In this connection, George W. Williams, historian, wrote in 1884, "that he saw hard service we know by the record of the two regiments he served in, always distinguished for steadiness and valor.

Findel2 about the uncertain and complicated origins of grand lodges in the United States and the inconsistent attitudes displayed towards the char- I tering in Boston of African Lodge No. 459 by the Grand Lodge of Eng- land: “The territory was open territory. The idea of exclusive State jurisdiction by Grand Lodges had not then been as much as dreamed of.” 3 The general 1.
