​It is with great humility and an extreme sense of pride that I serve as Worshipful Master of Villa Ricca Lodge No. 584, PHA. I want to thank you for your vote of confidence in electing me as your Worshipful Master for the ensuing year of 2025. As we begin this new chapter in the journey of Villa Rica Lodge No. 584, I invite you to join me as we operate under the theme of “Strength and Honor: Our Legacy, Our Future.” Strength and Honor are values that have illuminated our path in the past, created our legacy and no doubt will also light the way to our future.

​

Our strength is reflected in our unwavering commitment to excellence. We have tackled challenges head-on with resilience and determination. We have always harnessed our collective strength to achieve our goals and exceed expectations. Our strength as a lodge comes from our unbridled passion for masonry and our relentless pursuit of knowledge.

​

Honor is the beacon that guides our actions. It's in the integrity we uphold, the respect we show each other and the pride we take in our legacy. It has been said that "No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." Honor is about giving, it’s about contributing to the greater good, and ensuring our legacy is one of dignity and respect within the community that we serve.

 

As we look to the future, I charge each of you to carry these values with you. They are the foundation upon which this lodge was built. This administration will be committed to upholding these principles and ensuring that our legacy continues. As we embrace the principles of “strength and honor”, we honor our legacy and pave the way for a brighter future. Please join me on this journey, our future awaits.
