ADDRESS BY THE MASTER BROTHER PETROS K.
On the 6th of December 2023 I had the honour and the pleasure to be installed as Master of Partick St Mary’s Lodge No. 117.
Being Greek I had the privilege to experience the appreciation and friendship of my Scottish friends and Brethren for years. More importantly I have been very proud and honoured to be a Freemason in Scotland, in the birthplace of Freemasonry.
I would warmly welcome any man of good standing who would consider becoming a Freemason to message us without hesitation. The Masonic experience is a privilege and a blessing which makes good men even better.
Yours Fraternally
Brother Petros K.
Master

break since 1908.
