Now available...the October 2026 Trestle Board. Those Autumn colors!

Did you know that while Freemasonry does not have a formal celebration for the Autumnal Equinox, it does have some lodge or region-specific celebrations and reflections? Michaelmas, the Feast Day of St. Michael (September 29), was designated in the original 1723 Masonic Constitutions as one of the f...

Congratulations, Brother Marcos!

Washington Lodge No. 20 would like to congratulate Brother Marcos Leal Gastelum, our newest Fellowcraft Mason, who was passed to the degree of Fellowcraft on Thursday evening!

It was a wonderful evening of Brotherhood, ritual, and Masonic fellowship as Brother Marcos continued his journey from the porch to the Middle Chamber.

A sincere thank you to all of the Brothers who attended, participated in the degree, and helped make the evening a memorable one. Your support of our advancing Brothers is one of the things that makes our Lodge and our Fraternity so special.

Please join us in congratulating Brother Gastelum on reaching this important milestone in his Masonic journey. We look forward to seeing him continue to learn, grow, and advance in the Craft.

Congratulations, Brother Marcos! Well done!

September 2026 Trestle Board now available! So crisp and refreshing!

Often, we think of Masonic travel as journeying to neighboring California lodges, visiting jurisdictions across state lines, or exploring lodges overseas as ambassadors of Washington Lodge No. 20. While those journeys expand our horizons, I firmly believe that true Masonic travel and discovery must....

Washington Lodge No. 20 held our annual Festive Board this week under our Master's theme of Travel and Discovery. What a wonderful evening of fellowship it turned out to be!

The event was filled with good "Mediterranean" food, Masonic tradition, laughter, and great company. Our ceremonial “penalties” for ritual violations also raised $189 in donations for Shriners Children’s Hospital, making the fun of the evening serve an even better purpose.

Thank you to all the Brothers and guests who joined us and helped make the evening such a success. It was a great reminder that some of the best parts of our Masonic journey are the fellowship and memories we make along the way.

Yesterday, several brethren of Washington Lodge No. 20 and their families enjoyed a fascinating walking tour of Sacramento's Historic Masonic Cemetery, expertly led by Andrew MacVicar. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the lives and legacies of those who helped shape both our fraternity and our community.

Among the many notable graves we visited was that of Worshipful Charles Duncombe, along with several other prominent California Masons whose service and dedication continue to inspire us today. Walking among these monuments is a powerful reminder that while our labors may one day end, the influence of a life well lived can endure for generations.

Our sincere thanks to Andrew MacVicar for sharing his knowledge and passion for the cemetery's rich history, and to everyone who joined us for this memorable morning of fellowship, learning, and remembrance.

Please join us in congratulating Robert Taylor Jr. on taking his first step in Freemasonry by being initiated as an Entered Apprentice in Washington Lodge No. 20.

For many of our members, the Taylor name brings to mind Robert's father, Bob Taylor Sr., a respected Brother whose friendship, character, and service (especially the meals he prepared!) left a lasting impression on our Lodge. And while we fondly remember Bob Sr. and the example he set, this ceremony belongs to Bob Jr.

Every Mason's journey is unique. The path ahead is one that each man must walk for himself, discovering the lessons, friendships, and opportunities that Freemasonry has to offer. We are honored that Robert Jr. has chosen to begin that journey with us, and we look forward to supporting him every step of the way.

Congratulations, Brother Bob, and welcome to the fraternity. We are proud to call you our Brother.

Washington Lodge No. 20 had a wonderful time at our Annual Family Picnic yesterday at Richard Marriott Park! A big thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy great fellowship, delicious food, and a beautiful day together. The burgers, hot dogs, ribs, and salads, as well as our special lodge cake were all a hit! Between games of Jenga, co****le, Frisbee, and even a little game of catch, there was plenty of fun for brothers, family, and friends.

A special thank you to Worshipful Dave Cameron for taking charge of the grill and keeping everyone well fed. Your hard work and great cooking helped make the picnic a tremendous success. We appreciate everyone who helped make the day memorable, and we’re already looking forward to next year!
