Over recent months many lodges have been working hard to promote both the Degree of Mark Master Masons, and the Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Royal Ark Mariners.

The St Simon Lodge of Mark Master Masons is no exception, as it also recently undertook a double advancement ceremony. The ceremony was carried out in impeccable style by the Worshipful Brother Simon Rowe and his officers and it was warming to see yet more brethren who were members of other orders joining our excellent degree.

The WM and the PGM gave a warm welcome to Bro’s Christopher Roach (The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent in the Holy Royal Arch) and Keith Williams (The Craft Provincial Director of Ceremonies). The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of brethren including the PGM of the Craft and two Past Grand Superintendents of the Holy Royal Arch, pictured alongside our own Executive.

 

These bonds of friendship continue to develop the aim of working together, not only towards the improvement and sustainability of our own degree, but across freemasonry in general within the Province of Devonshire.
