Our Lodges and Triangles

Welcome to an exclusive journey into the heart of our distinguished Order, where we proudly unveil the registry of our esteemed chartered and provisional Lodges. Explore their Orients (cities), ritual practices, and the languages that weave the tapestry of their work.

The distinction between a chartered Lodge and a provisional lodge lies in the latter's remarkable pursuit of securing a charter from the esteemed G∴W∴U Convent. During this transformative phase, a provisional Lodge revels in the privilege of conducting regular meetings, electing their college of officers, bestowing the illuminating degrees of Freemasonry, and representing their ideals at the revered yearly Convent.

Conversely, the chartered Lodge enjoys a prestigious status as a permanent member within the esteemed GWU confederation. Such Lodges wield the power of two votes, harnessed through their elected delegate, fostering a potent voice within the fraternity.

Discover the enigmatic realm of the Masonic Triangle, the very genesis of a Masonic Lodge. Within its sacred confines, dedicated members converge to illuminate administrative, ritual, and cultural matters, illuminating the path to the lodge's future. Once the Triangle thrives with unwavering commitment, it seeks guidance from an advisory Lodge to embark on a sacred voyage towards attaining provisional status.
