Our Story
Lodge Rangitikei is a Masonic Lodge on the role of the Grand Lodge Freemasons New Zealand. Established by a small group of Masonic settlers in 1880, based in the small township of Bulls by the Rangitikei River. The original Lodge title was The Rangitikei Lodge No. 1904, an English Constitution Lodge. In 1890 the lodge voted favourably to join the newly formed Grand lodge of New Zealand, the Lodge title was changed to Lodge Rangitikei No. 38. For many years the Lodge thrived with a healthy membership, but in 2003 due to a decline in joining members decided to amalgamate with the Marton township ‘Ruapehu Lodge No. 128’. Today we have a healthy membership once again, being men of various ages, with several brethren maintaining their membership whilst living in other parts of the country or abroad.
We believe history and tradition is very important in a rural Lodge like ours, but we look to the future and new technology with equal regard. The Lodge still meets regularly in the Freemason’s Hall, 365 Wellington Road, Marton. We hold meetings every second Thursday of the month, except for January. Tyled 7.30pm, visitors 8pm. Our installation meeting is in February.
Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organisations. The Freemasonry principles of kindness, care, honesty, trust, and fairness are timeless values that are as relevant to the world today as they were 300 years ago. With these core ideals, Freemasonry fits comfortably into the modern world.
