Welcome brethren

It is indeed an honor to serve you as Grand Master this year.

From Most Worshipful Grand Master Steven C. Moss

STEVEN C. MOSS
GRAND MASTER 2025-2026

My Brethren, it is my honor to serve you as your Grand Master for the ensuing Masonic year. One hundred and fifty-one men have held this high office before me, and each has endeavored to maintain the traditions of friendship, morality, and brotherly love which we acknowledge as the touchstones of our Ancient Fraternity. In today’s world, with its many distractions and hectic pace, it is easy to disregard these virtues, to become callous to the welfare of others, and to forget our obligations as Master Masons. These challenges make it even more imperative that we put into every-day practice the teachings we have heard so frequently inculcated in our Lodges. Our gentle Craft should not only be a place of friendship and fellowship, but an inspiration on how we should present ourselves and our values to the world at large. It has often been said that Masonry takes a good man and makes him better. Therefore, I urge all of you, my Brethren:

BE THE BETTER MAN.
