If you haven't heard already: By order of Stephen F. Oakley, the Grand Master for the State of Illinois, all Lodges have been ordered to cease holding Masonic meetings. In keeping with the bylaws of Oriental Lodge we are providing "due notice" of this action. More importantly the lodge encourages all of our members and friends to take precautions to protect their heath and the health of their families. Visit the CDC website for more information.

By very definition Freemasonry is a social network and what we can do at this time is to reach out to those in our network and offer assistance in ways that we can. The officers of Oriental Lodge are working with Grand Lodge and other Masonic bodies to support the fraternity. If you are in need of help or know of someone  who is in need of help please contact brother secretary at oriental.lodge.33@gmail.com or the Worshipful Master, Laurent Kanago, at lkanago@live.com or c: 312.730.2419.

We'll be looking at providing a conference call service for members to stay in touch and check-in until lodge can be reopened but in the meantime we encourage you to stay connected through the facebook page or visiting the Oriental website for more updates.
