Introduction

Partick St Mary's Lodge No 117 was Chartered by the Grand Lodge of Scotland on 29th March 1769 and therefore has an unbroken history and tradition of over Two Hundred and Thirty-Eight years. A brief account of the Lodge history is available on a link attached to this site for your interest and perusal. Similarly a link outlining our Aims is also readily available

The official Lodge history of Partick St. Mary's Lodge was written by Brother Thomas A. Bell Right Worshipful Master 1945/46.

The Lodge is situated in the heart of Glasgow's cosmopolitan and popular West End a stone throw from Glasgow University, the only other local institution which can lay claim to being older than the Lodge.

By virtue of its Charter the Lodge cannot meet outwith the boundaries of Partick and so for Two Hundred and Thirty-Eight years has in the most part complied with this decree since its early inception as a village Lodge.

Presently we meet at the Masonic Temple, 92 Dumbarton Road, Partick Glasgow G11 6NX, where the Lodge has met without, break since 1908. In 2008 we hope to commemorate our hundredth year by re-consecration of our Temple.

The Lodge meets on the First and Third Wednesday of each month September to May and endeavours to sustain a varied programme of activity.

Likewise, as Freemasons we have an obligation to Charity and the wider community and only this year presented the local Sick Children's Hospital with a cheque for £652.00 subject to our fundraising activities.

If you are not familiar with our Lodge and this is your first contact we would be pleased to hear from you! You can fill-in the visitors book reach us by use the form on the contact page.

In conclusion may we thank you for visiting our site and extend to you every good wish on behalf of the Master, Office Bearers and Brethren of the Lodge.
