St. Johns Lodge #53 A.F.& A.M.

St. Johns Lodge #53 A.F.& A.M. The Oldest Masonic Lodge in Tyler, Texas. John's No.53 in particular. Freemasonry is a fraternity. The Masonic Order is a serious group.

Chartered on January 19, 1849.

2024 marked our 175 years of existence, this is a testament to the continual love and dedication of our Masonic Brothers to Masonry in general, and St. Its membership is restricted to men, but there is no hazing as is found in some college fraternities. It exists to take good men and help them to become better men. Thus, it is not a reform society. It does not exist to reform criminals, nor would such persons benefit from its teachings.

We appreciate the attendees who came out for our lodge open house! Thank you for the support!

A great night at St. John's No. 53 - Stated Meeting!

We had DDGM R∴W∴ Rex Worl's Official Visit where he delivered our GM R∴W∴ Jim Rumsey 's message to the Brethren!

Then we had three Brothers who received their A Certificates, namely WM Steve Kennedy, JW David O'Connor, and Brother Kenneth Sheats! What's more impressive was the fact the our JW, David O'Connor received all his 3 certificates at one time!!!

To top it all off the Brother who presented their certificates our District Instructor, Brother Dwayne Cooper, was officially made a member of St. Johns Lodge #53 A.F.& A.M. !

Truly a night to remenber! A huge thank you to all the Brothers who came out and helped receive our DDGM! 🙏❤️

In behalf of, and representing, all Masons in East Texas particularly the Brethren in District 16, St. Johns Lodge #53 A.F.& A.M. had the distinct honor of hosting the New Smith County Courthouse Cornerstone Leveling Ceremony earlier today.

District 16 is humbled by the persuasive efforts of Brother Joe Barron in pushing to get this proposal approved by the council members of Smith County.

A very special thank you to R∴W∴ Jim Rumsey, R∴W∴ Chip Green, and the other Grand Lodge Representatives who were present and participated in the leveling ceremony. We appreciate each one of you for taking the time to squeeze this event into your busy schedules in such short notice.
