Welcome to Our Newest Entered Apprentices

Oriental Lodge #33 is proud to announce the initiation of five new brothers into our fraternity: Shawn Joseph, Mariusz Falkus, Dylan Brugman, Christopher McCarthy, and Joseph Frank III. These men were initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonry on August 27th, 2024, marking the beginning of their Masonic journey.

Becoming an Entered Apprentice is the first step in a lifelong commitment to the values of Freemasonry—Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. This degree is more than just an introduction; it signifies the start of their transformation into better men, both for themselves and for their community.

As they continue along this path, they join a long line of Freemasons who have stood together since the founding of Oriental Lodge in 1845. Our lodge has always been a place where individuals strive for personal improvement while contributing to something larger than themselves. These five men now become part of that legacy, walking in the footsteps of those who have built and sustained our lodge for nearly two centuries.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to these new brothers and look forward to watching them grow within the fraternity. Their journey has only just begun, and the lessons they will learn, both about themselves and the world around them, will shape their Masonic future.

The public is always welcome to explore the values and history of Freemasonry, and we encourage those who are curious about our fraternity to reach out and learn more. Together, we continue to build a better tomorrow, just as our forefathers did before us.
