Trestle Board

Dear Brethren,

 I hope this message reaches everyone in good health and good spirits as we welcome the new year. Our Masonic journey in 2025 has begun, though not quite as planned, as the winter weather forced us to cancel our January communication. While it is always unfortunate to miss an opportunity to gather, the safety of our Brothers, especially those travelling from afar, remains our highest priority.

As we embark on this new year, let us embrace the positive energy and fresh beginnings that come with it. In Freemasonry, we recognize the passing of time in a unique way, adding 4000 years to the current calendar year to reflect the Anno Lucis or “Year of Light.” I regret not implementing these values to our previous communication. This reminds us that our fraternity is rooted in ancient wisdom, guiding us towards enlightenment, knowledge, and self improvement. May this year bring new opportunities for growth, harmony, and renewed commitment to the principles we hold dear.

I also want to take a moment to reaffirm our ongoing efforts to establish and finalize our lodge’s bylaws. As many of you know, we have been trying to work on this since September communication to ensure that our lodge has a clear and comprehensive set of governing principles. This is a critical task that must be and will be completed before the end of our Masonic year. Our bylaws will serve as a foundation for our future, providing structure and clarity for the Brothers who comes after us. To the assigned officers of our bylaws committee, your input and participantion in this process are invaluable, and I encourage to remain engaged as we finalize this important work.

I look forward to seeing you all soon as we resume our labors and continue strengthening the bonds of our Brotherhood. may this year bring propsperity, wisdom, and the unwavering light of Freemasonry into all our lives.

Fraternally,
W.·. Sully Fernandez
