Lodge Morisset Moves

02 May 24

After 1,252 meetings Lodge Morisset has said farewell to its Yambo Street premises, and in future will meet at the Toronto Masonic Centre, which is also the home of Lodge Lake Macquarie.

The farewell meeting was a District 16 combined meeting which was graced by the presence of the Deputy Grand Master RW Bro Khris Albano, who was accompanied by the Assistant Grand Master RW Bro Paul Schultz and the Grand Director of Ceremonies RW Bro Josh Newman.

The DGIWs of Districts, 14, 15, and 16 were also present. In total, it was a Grand Lodge delegation of 25.

The Worshipful Master of Lodge Morisset, W Bro Henry Millington occupied the chair of King Solomon and welcomed all the brethren, but especially those brethren of District 16 who filled the various offices and delivered the relevant charges.

The lodge was opened in each of the three degrees with charges or presentations delivered in each degree.

During the Fellowcraft degree, RW Bro Khris Albano presented the Sixth Section Lecture with great clarity and consideration for the various levels of experience within his audience. After the lodge was closed, everybody retired to the South to enjoy a Burns Night supper with haggis and the traditional address which was given by RW Bro Tom Shaw. The brethren and the ladies filled the South, and it was a fitting occasion to farewell the grand old building. W Bro Henry Millington expressed the enthusiasm of the members of Lodge Morisset and assured the visitors that Lodge Morisset looks forward to a strong future in its new home in Toronto.
