We Are Family!

Freemasons’ Hall Leicester played host to a warm and memorable family gathering as Lodge Semper Eadem welcomed The Holmes Lodge, Prince Rupert Lodge, and the Lodge of Gratitude for a special quadripartite meeting.

This annual occasion celebrated the close bond between the four lodges. Lodge Semper Eadem takes the role of “step-mum”, while The Holmes Lodge is the Mother Lodge of both Prince Rupert Lodge and the Lodge of Gratitude - making this truly a Masonic family affair.

The event was further enriched by strong support from other lodges, with a total of forty-two members in attendance. The highlight of the evening was the raising of Ross Peachey, which was conducted with great care and excellence.

Proceedings concluded with a candlelit Festive Board, where Semper Eadem’s polished silverware was on full display - adding a touch of elegance to an already special evening.

The family tradition continues next year, when the Lodge of Gratitude will take on hosting duties for what promises to be another memorable gathering.
