We are now on our 9th month of the 2025 masonic year. Most of you, if not all of you, are aware of what is happening in the lodge. Since the letters went out asking for help, we have not had anyone come forward to help. So, I’m not sure what more we can do. In the coming weeks there will be a letter coming out to address your options if you still want to be a mason.
Merging the lodge would be the best option for all of us but we are not being given that option by the Grand Lodge. As it stands now, we will need a Secretary, a Senior Warden, a Treasurer and a Junior Warden and, it would be nice to have someone step up and be Master. If not, I will be in my 4th year as Master and I am tired. So, if you are at all interested in helping, this is what the lodge needs.
As always, we will leave the light on for you.
Respectively,
Scott A. Mitchell, PM, WM
Brethren,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mark Viertel and I am a PM of Parker Allegheny Canby Lodge No 521 in Parker PA. I have served as secretary and assistant secretary for 26 years. I served as DDGM in the 52nd Masonic District from 1996 to 2001. I am also a member of the Spartan Traditional Lodge No 817 in Spartansburg, PA. I look forward to helping Covenant Lodge and your DDGM, Brother Charlie Davies. Being that I live 1.5 hours away, I will appreciate all the help you can give me as far as deaths, someone needing a get well card or any Lodge activities that I may be missing just because of my lack of familiarity with this Lodge and area. I am open to texts, emails and phone calls. Hope to see you at the meeting.
Respectfully,
Mark E. Viertel, PDDGM, Secretary

Greetings Brethren,
This is Charlie Davis DDGM of the 25th District with some exciting news. After much time, the website for the 25th District is finally back up and running. We now have a website where we can update the brethren in the District about what is happening in the other Lodges.
The address for the website is www.25thpadistrict.org
As I travel through the District, I will be taking pictures as much as possible to add to the website. If you have any happenings within your Lodges and would like to other brethren know about it, please send it to the email address - 25thpadistrict@gmail.com and we will get it put on the website. You can email pictures or any dates that you have for upcoming events and they will be put on the calendar.
If you send pictures, please include what the activity is, list of members attending in order R to L, or L to R, where the activity took place and any other pertinent information you would like included.
Please put the word out as we would like to inform the brethren of this resource and hope you take advantage of it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you and stay safe and healthy.
S&F Charlie Davis DDGM
