As we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our country, it is important for us to acknowledge the enduring influence of Freemasonry as one of the primary sources of the foundational concepts in the Declaration of Independence. Lodges should make every effort to be a focal point in their communities for America’s Semiquincentennial in 2026. Special events throughout the year will unite our Pennsylvania brethren with our counterparts across the country as we reaffirm the ideals that built this nation. Let’s lead the way in celebrating our great nation’s founding!
