This past weekend, brothers of Nicollet Lodge No. 54 came together in service to our community and our Masonic family.

Working alongside members of BSA Troop 58 - St. Peter, MN, brothers participated in projects assisting local widows with yard work, cleanup, trimming, and removal work around their homes. After completing one project, several brothers continued on to assist at a second location, continuing a long tradition of Masonic service and care for those in need.

February 2026 - events and meetings for Nicollet Lodge #54

Last week we shared the incredible story of a fire suppression device donated by our lodge saving a local home from total loss.

This week, Deputy Drew Link visited Nicollet Lodge #54 to share the full story, including bodycam footage of the device in action.

Seeing the charred device next to a brand new replacement really drives home what these tools can do. We were proud to present Deputy Link with a new unit to keep him equipped for future emergencies.

Check out the full story, photos, and bodycam footage at the link below! 🔥🚒
