A word from Worshipful Master Patrick Donnelly:

Brothers All,

It is my distinct honor and privilege to serve as Master of
Harmony Lodge No. 42. I thank each of you for your vote of
confidence, and look forward to the opportunities and achievements
which lie ahead for our brethren, our Lodge, and Freemasonry as a
whole. I would first and foremost like to extend a formal welcome to
the members of formerly active Liberty-Continental Lodge No.76,
who have since merged with Harmony Lodge No.42. We welcome
you to our family as brothers with open arms and look forward to
your regular participation in our Craft.

The brethren of Harmony Lodge No. 42 are shining
jewels amongst men and masons. Our Lodge is strong, and growing
stronger, due to the great efforts of the Craft and the diligence,
foresight and willpower of our most recent Master. Our Lodge has
experienced a revitalization of the brotherhood within this post-
pandemic landscape, a consensus I believe many share and wish to
see continued. Continue we shall.

In this regard, it is important to recognize that sustained
Revitalization requires Re-engagement; and so shall the re-
engagement of our existing membership be a priority of our
upcoming year. While at present we are fortunate to enjoy a hearty
regular attendance of the brethren, an even heartier attendance shall
add permanence to our local Craft. Thus, the Lodge will conduct
“call-them-all” and other outreach methods starting this quarter, with
the goal of encouraging our less active local brethren to return – even
in earnest – to the functions, degrees, and special events which make
the Brotherhood of Harmony Lodge No. 42 so unique and inherently
special.

Additionally, the newly established Public Relations
Committee shall continue its work to identify opportunities within
our community, and across the State of Connecticut, to engage the
public and espouse the best virtues of Freemasonry. Finally, the
brethren should look forward with enthusiasm towards engaging in
our regular degree work and rehearsals as may be required, and
should plan in advance to attend our traditional celebration of
Brother George Washington’s life this upcoming February – a most
enjoyable occasion.

Your efforts, dedication, purity of heart and commitment
to our ancient and noble obligations of Faith, Hope, Charity and
Love shall ensure that the Fellowship of Harmony Lodge No.42
continues to represent and embody Freemasonry at the highest
quality and caliber. In this, I have only the greatest confidence.

W.M. Patrick J. Donnelly

Master, Harmony Lodge #42, A.F. & A. M.
