Saturday, June 20, 2026 – Today marked a historic milestone more than two and a half years in the making as we proudly conferred our very first Master Mason Degree.

We extend our sincere congratulations to our newly obligated Brother, Matt McElfresh, on this remarkable achievement. Through dedication, commitment, and perseverance, Brother Matt has reached this significant milestone in his Masonic journey. We are honored to welcome him as a Master Mason and a full member of the Craft.

We also offer our heartfelt appreciation to Bartimaeus Lodge U.D. for helping ensure that Brother Matt felt welcomed and supported throughout his degree experience. Your kindness, brotherhood, and compassion exemplify the very best of Freemasonry. To all the visiting brethren who joined us for this historic occasion—whether you participated in the degree work or attended to show your support—thank you. Your presence, fellowship, and contributions helped make this evening truly memorable.

Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to Millersville OES Chapter No. 300 for providing an outstanding dinner that brought us together in the spirit of fellowship and friendship. Your hospitality added greatly to the success of this special event. This unforgettable evening will hold a special place in our lodge’s history, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.
