There is so much that divides us today: 

  ♦  Politics  ♦  Covid Rules  ♦ Best Jucy Lucy  ♦  Vikings vs Packers  ♦  Pop vs Soda  ♦

That’s why I’ve chosen as the focus for Braden Lodge for 2022: 

                        F  E  L  L  O  W  S  H  I  P 

     We need to set aside the things that divide us, and stresswhat unites us: breaking bread with one another, learning

from each other, and enjoying the company of those who

bring their unique experiences to share with us all.

     I hope you will join with us on this journey to Masonic

enlightenment -- together!

of up-coming activities.

People often think one has to be invited to become a Mason. However that is not the case. While a friend may suggest the benefits of membership, we only accept members who join entirely of their own free will. We do have a few requirements: one must be a male over the age 18, believe in deity, be of good repute -- and share a genuine interest in improving yourself.

 

Does that describe you? Then we suggest you come visit us on one of our open events dates (colored in gold on the right). Get a feel for who we are and what we do. Perhaps even visit a few lodges, as each has a different personality. If you like what you see, and think Braden Lodge will be a good fit for you, then fill out a petition -- your first step on your journey towards Masonic enloghtenment!

Braden Lodge is moving! Effective Dec 1st, 2022, we will begin holding our meetings and other functions at the Minnehaha Lodge #165 building located at 5149 Bloomington Ave S in Minneapolis, just blocks from Lake Nokomis.
     This action comes after our landlords of the past 8 years at Arcana Lodge proposed a rent increase of 155% (over 2.5 times our current rent), then rejected our reasonable counter-offer of a 14% increase. On Sept 15th, Arcana issued Braden a notice of termination, giving us until Dec 1st to vacate the premises. Our Stated Meeting of Nov 17th should be the last official event at the Arcana building, with move-out scheduled for Nov 18th - 20th.
     We look forward to working with our new neighbors, the Brothers of Minnehaha Lodge, as well as our fellow tenants, Cataract Lodge #2 and several appendant bodies, to further our mission to make good men better thru Masonry!
