Earlier this evening, our Chaplain, M.·.E.·. James H. Douglass was presented with a certificate for 50 years service as Past Master of Pioneer Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Somerset, Massachusetts.

The presentation was made by the District Deputy Grand Master R.W. Barry Standish in Jim’s room at Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River.  Also, as part of the evening, Jim presented two brothers, Bro. Frederick H. Buckley Jr. and Bro. George J. Pandrenoss, with their 50 Year medals, both of whom were raised by Jim as Master of Pioneer Lodge.

In Blue Lodge, Jim is also a Past District Deputy Grand Master and holds the title of Right Worshipful.

At our June convocation, E.·. George H. Snow will be recognized for forty years of service to capitular masonry.

In 1974 George first served as High Priest of Harmony Royal Arch Chapter.  In 1993 he again served as High Priest, this time for the merged Old Colony-Harmony Royal Arch Chapter.  He now serves as a Trustee of the Permanent Fund.  Over the years since and in between, he has served in and filled in for numerous stations.  George has a long history of generously dedicating his time and talents for the good of the Chapter and capitular masonry.

The Officers of Saint Mark’s Royal Arch Chapter are proud to present our new web presence.  This is a new tool for sharing with Companions who would like to keep informed with what’s happenning at Saint Mark’s.  This site is also a new resource for Brethren who have interest in advancing their Masonic education into the York Rite of Freemasonry.

Companions can easily find their latest lodge notices online.  Additionally visitors can access all issues of our newsletter, which may help to promote capitular Masonry and the activities of Saint Mark’s Royal Arch Chapter in particular.
