June 2025 - Celebrating a Strong Finish to the Masonic Year
The Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts, Most Worshipful George F. Hamilton, with Wor. Evan S. Fisher and the Lodge’s three newest Master Masons, Bro. Leegoir Berthaud, Enrique Gamboa, and Adam Cruz
June was a month of monumental significance for The Henry Price Lodge, as we concluded our Masonic year with not one but two memorable meetings. These meetings marked the culmination of our efforts to raise six worthy Brothers to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. Congratulations to Bros. Leegoir Berthaud, Adam Cruz, Enrique Gamboa, Marcio Lopes Jr., João Silva, and Ethan Sweetland. Their journey is just beginning, and we look forward to them being active members of our Lodge.
Tuesday, June 3rd – A Grand Evening
Our first meeting of the month was a true highlight. We had the distinct honor of welcoming the Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts, accompanied by his distinguished suite. The reception was made even more special by the presence of a dozen Past Masters of our Lodge. Their collective experience and continued support reflect the strength of our Brotherhood and the lasting bonds we share.

During the evening, we were proud to present the George Washington Military Service Medal to three deserving Brothers: Bro. Ken Hoffman, Bro. Matt Leming and Bro. Rick Reid. These medals recognize their honorable service to our country, and we were grateful to celebrate their contributions in the presence of so many Brothers.

We were also joined by members of Sinim Lodge, based in Tokyo, Japan, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. These Brothers graciously served as our Gates and Junior Warden for the evening. Several "rusty" Brothers also returned to join us, bringing renewed energy and familiar faces to the Lodge room.

The degree was conferred with precision and care, and the evening concluded with a warm and festive dinner, where stories and fellowship flowed freely.
Saturday, June 14th – Finishing Strong
Just eleven days later, we returned for a Special Communication to raise our remaining three candidates. This meeting was no less meaningful, as we completed the journey to Master Mason for this fine group of men.

We were pleased to welcome visitors from The Massachusetts Lodge, for whom we conferred a courtesy degree. The spirit of cooperation and Brotherhood was on full display, as a few of their members helped out during the degree.
After the degree work concluded, we gathered for lunch and fellowship, celebrating not just the conferral of degrees but the conclusion of an exceptional Masonic year.
