Pentalpha Lodge #564

A wonderful evening of Freemasonry was had at our stated meeting this evening!

We welcomed to dinner a couple of men who have interest in becoming Masons as well as several guests from other lodges, one who hopes to join our ranks. We then made solid progress on Lodge business before enjoying education on the Masonic memorial service in honor of our recently departed brother presented by W. Bro. Tim Brinkmeyer, PM. After we ended our meeting, we retired to The Knotted Spoon for refreshment and fellowship.

Our next stated meeting will be on the 25th of June.

Many thanks to Worshipful Master Mike Steele and the rest of the Brethren of Jubilee Lodge for their hospitality.

“If a Lodge cannot sustain itself, then it should go dark and turn in its charter. The very purpose of a Lodge is not to be just another public charity or fundraising organisation, but a living band of brothers whose own spiritual pursuits are all that are needed to keep it alive. If that band is dissolved by the passage of time or lack of interest, then it can be nothing more than an empty building, absent of the brotherhood that once supplied its lifeblood.”

Observing the Craft

Like a Phoenix rising from its ashes, Pentalpha Lodge No. 564, F.&A.M. continues to evolve and grow. Over it's 144 year history it has meant different things to different bothers. In 2025, it resignates the following modes which modern Freemasons from various ages aspire to in their journey through the Craft:
•Brotherly Love, Relief, & Truth
•Character Development
•Ritual Proficiency & Performance
•Team Building
•Strength & Honor, through our NV Masonic Lenses

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers."
William Shakespeare
Henry V - St. Crispin's Day Speech

If these ideals speak to your heart, we welcome you back to Lodge or to join with us in our great pursuit, in an age of AI generated media, political divide, and economic turmoil...let these be the days, which we band together as brothers and Freemasons.
