Entered Apprentice Degree - Tuesday January 24th, 2023

On a beautiful Tuesday night, Oriental Lodge # 33 welcomed three new members into its ranks. Michael Park, Christopher Moran, and Jamey Garth were initiated as Entered Apprentices, and with this step, they began their first step into Freemasonry.

These three candidates had been frequent visitors to the lodge for some time, as is typical among those seeking membership of our lodge. The process of becoming a Freemason is one that is not taken lightly, and the lodge ensures that each candidate is well-suited to the craft by waiting between six months to a year before accepting a petition for membership. This allows for a thorough examination of the candidate's character and values, and helps to ensure that the new members are worthy of the title of Freemason, and especially of Oriental Lodge #33.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Michael, Christopher, and Jamey on their initiation into the craft. We look forward to the contributions they will make to the fraternity and to the world as the youngest Entered Apprentices of our lodge.
