Master's Message January 2020

Greetings and thank you for visiting our website:

As Master of Palm Springs Lodge, I invite you all to come to our Stated Meeting on January 7th. This year we will be serving Prime Rib at every Stated Meeting.

We will continue to demand excellence in our ritual. All officers will be expected to wear coat and ties for Stated Meetings and tuxedos for Degrees. We will continue to do business in less than ten minutes in order to get to the real reason why we come to Lodge: to learn and educate ourselves in all things Masonic.

We will continue to abide by our vision and mission statements. We'll hold at least 5 "Further Lights in Masonry" on the Master Mason Degree only. Anything we study will be out of the cipher ritual book and all officers will be expected to lead one of these sessions as part of their further training and education.

I encourage all of our Officers and members to support our Brothers in our District and to help them anywhere they may need help in order to strengthen our five Lodges.

We will continue with our Community Service of providing a Socrates Cafe - Trivium Discussion Group and helping the public learn ways to have healthy conversations and engaging discussions about important issues of our day and time. This is in alignment with what our lectures say about promoting the advancement of the Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Come to Lodge, see where you can help out, take on some responsibility that will not only help us but help you as an individual. Come join us Brethren, help us make the Masonic experience truly awesome and memorable for us all.

Ted Parker PM - Master, Lodge 693

Saturday December 21st
Winter Soltice

Palm Springs Lodge had their first ever bonfire right outside the lodge room. This was on the Winter Solstice which some say is very significant to Masons. About 30 people attended. There was plenty of food, beer, wine, whiskey, great music and great conversation. Stay tuned for our next bonfire gathering.

Our Message to All: Welcome!

Vision Statement: To restore Palm Springs Lodge #693 as a beacon of light in Masonry for all worthy and well qualified men.

Mission Statement: Our Mission is to lead by example. To provide a sanctuary away from the world at large where brothers are free to teach, learn, and explore the symbols, values, morals, and principles of speculative Freemasonry that will help us live as righteous and noble men.

Masons meet "on the level." No matter your profession or your economic status (some financial responsibilities required), when our Lodge is in session, we're equals where outside worldly titles and social status disappear while we are in the pursuit of our Masonic labors. We are a sacred society, or band of brothers formed in a centuries-old tradition.

What's Freemasonry all about? Freemasonry is refinement in everything we do. From the way we dress, speak, prepare for our meetings, interact with one another and share meals, it's all about hard work. That work is work we do internally, True, there's a lot more to the vast tapestry of our Craft. Learn more here.

Masons do not solicit new members. Interested men must approach of their own initiative. However, first a friend, then a brother. All prospective members are vetted over a 6 to 12 month period. No one is guaranteed membership, not every man should be a Mason, and not every Mason should be a member of our lodge.

Don't know a Mason? No problem. Lodge 693 welcomes inquiries! Contact us here
