Worshipful Master’s Message – 2026

Union Lodge No. 259

Brethren and Friends,

As I once again assume the honor of serving as Worshipful Master of Union Lodge No. 259, I do so with gratitude, humility, and a renewed sense of purpose. The opportunity to return to the East is both a privilege and a responsibility—one that I embrace with clear intention as we step into a new year of labor, learning, and brotherhood.

My vision for this year rests upon four guiding principles: Unity, Growth, Tradition, and Shared Responsibility.

Unity:  Reminds us that our strength lies in brotherhood. It calls us to ensure that every member—newly raised or long‑standing—feels welcome, valued, and connected to the life of our Lodge.

Growth: Challenges us to expand our knowledge, mentor one another, and extend our charitable reach into the community. Through education, fellowship, and service, we strengthen not only ourselves but the world around us.

Tradition: Anchors us in the timeless lessons of Freemasonry. These teachings guide us as we navigate modern challenges with wisdom, integrity, and purpose, ensuring that our actions reflect the Light we have been entrusted to carry.

Shared Responsibility:  Reminds us that the work of the Lodge is not borne by one Brother alone. When we labor together—each contributing his talents, time, and heart—our efforts prosper and endure for generations to come.

In 2026, these principles will shape our path forward. Within these walls, we will continue to honor the rituals and values that define our Craft. Beyond them, we will strive to be examples of compassion, leadership, and unity in our community. Whether through charitable outreach, thoughtful education, or renewed fellowship, may each of us find a meaningful place in the work ahead.

Union Lodge is more than a building—it is a living legacy shaped by the character of its members. Together, we will meet the challenges of this year with dignity, purpose, and brotherly love.

Welcome to Union Lodge.
Welcome to the work of 2026.
Welcome to the legacy we build together.

Fraternally,

Sam Harris, PM
Worshipful Master, 2026
