When the International Order of the Rainbow Girls heard about our missing/stolen sack trucks, they didn’t hesitate. They rallied together and made sure we could replace them… and thanks to their incredible generosity, we’ve now got a brand new one ready to go 💛

These might seem like simple bits of equipment, but at Puddle Jumpers they help us move tonnes of food, donations and essentials every single week for families doing it tough.

To the amazing Rainbow Girls community, thank you. Your kindness, quick action and support means more than you know. You didn’t just replace a trolley… you helped keep our wheels turning for the thousands of people who rely on us each week.

Bloody legends 🌈✨

In Loving Memory of
Honorable Edward Y. Chua
May 14, 1959 – April 26, 2026

With heavy hearts, the Grand Assembly of the Philippines grieves the untimely passing of the Vice-Chairman of our Grand Executive Board, Honorable Dad Edward Y. Chua.

Dad Edward’s presence in the Order of the Rainbow for Girls was one of quiet strength and unwavering dedication. He stood as a guiding figure who believed deeply in the purpose of Rainbow in shaping young women into individuals of character, compassion, and service.

As we mourn this great loss, we also honor a life that was devoted to service and to the growth of the youth. The Grand Assembly of the Philippines stands in prayer and solidarity with his loved ones in this time of sorrow.

Though he may no longer walk beside us, the light he shared continues to live on in every heart he touched.

Until we meet again, Dad Edward.

🎄 Supporting Women and Children This Christmas

Masonic Charities | The Grand Lodge of Freemasons SA & NT members gathered on Sunday, 7 December for the annual Carol Service at Broadview Lodge, led by RW Bro Rev John Watson.

The service raised $245 which together with donated gifts for children has been handed to Women's Safety Services SA (WSSSA) to support women and families experiencing domestic and family violence.

WSSSA provides crisis support, safety planning, and practical assistance across South Australia, helping women and children find safety and stability during and after abuse.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, and to the WSSSA Eastern Site team for the vital work they do in our community.

📸 L–R: Grand Master MW Bro Bill Merrill, Alison (WSSSA – Eastern Site), Audrey Watson, Rev John Watson, and Laura (WSSSA – Eastern Site).

With deep respect for the Catholic Church and its heritage, we affirm that Freemasonry is not an enemy of the Catholic Church.

Freemasonry is not a religion, not anti-Christ, not anti‑Catholic, and certainly not antagonistic toward the Faith. In fact, many Freemasons are devoutly religious—and many among them are faithful Catholics who attend Mass, serve their parishes, and cherish their spiritual heritage.

Historically, Masonic members in the Philippines—including prominent Catholics—have emphasized that their lodges were founded for fraternal, civic, and nationalist purposes, not to oppose the Church. During dialogues between Filipino Masons and Catholic bishops, Masons expressed that there was “nothing essentially anti‑Catholic” in their constitution, and that many were “fully committed to cooperate with the Catholic Church”
