Dear Brethren,

Grace and peace to you from the Grand Architect of the Universe.

You may have recently received a letter discussing the potential closure of Covenant Lodge and outlining steps related to your membership options. While that communication was well-intentioned, it was premature and does not reflect the current direction or process authorized by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

We want to clarify that no final decision has been made regarding the future of Covenant Lodge.

To ensure that all Brothers are given the opportunity to understand the situation, ask questions, and help shape the next steps, the District Deputy Grand Master, in coordination with the Membership Engagement Committee, will be hosting an open meeting for the members of Covenant Lodge, District 25, and neighboring Districts.

Details of the Meeting:

Saturday July 26, 2025

8:00- 8:45 am Breakfast

9:00 am- Meeting at Covenant Lodge No. 473

The purpose of this meeting is to present accurate information, hear the thoughts and concerns of the Brethren, and work together to determine a clear and unified path forward. No membership decisions need to be made at this time, and there is no immediate need to submit resignation or transfer requests. We encourage all members to attend this meeting before taking any further steps.

Your voice matters. Your presence matters. And the future of Covenant Lodge deserves a thoughtful and collaborative approach.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued dedication to the Craft.

Fraternally,

Charlie DavisDistrict Deputy Grand Master, District 25
