A New Entered Apprentice!

Dan Tepper was initiated as an Entered Apprentice

We are thrilled to announce on Tuesday, March 26th 2024, we had the honor of initiating Dan Tepper as the newest Entered Apprentice of Oriental Lodge # 33.

Dan's journey into Freemasonry has been one marked by patience and dedication. Prior to his initiation, Dan took the time to get to know everyone within our lodge, ensuring that he was not only prepared but also aligned with our values. Most candidates wait for a year before they ask for and receive their petition. We firmly believe in the importance of this process, as it ensures that each candidate is a good fit for our lodge and are serious about the responsibilities that come with membership.

While the time commitment may sometimes be frustrating for new candidates, we want to reassure them that there is no rush. Freemasonry is a journey, and we believe in taking the necessary time to ensure that each member is prepared to uphold our sacred traditions.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Brother Tepper on his initiation and eagerly anticipate the contributions he will make to our lodge and to the wider Masonic community. Dan's dedication and enthusiasm serve as an inspiration to us all, and we are proud to welcome him into our brotherhood.
