‘Garibaldi Lodge schedules its EA°’

    

Sure it’s six months out, but add it to your calendar so you don’t forget. Historic Garibaldi Lodge 542 in the Tenth Manhattan District will confer the Entered Apprentice Degree next April.

This is the famous French Rite ritual as worked in the Italian language. With plenty of Alchemical and Rosicrucian symbolism, it likely is very different from what you are accustomed to.

Apprentices and Fellows are welcome (as always, they would be accompanied by a MM from lodge) and, in fact, are seated in the East with all the dignitaries.

Advance reservations are required. While the Grand Lodge Room is Masonic Hall’s largest space, it is not without seating limitations. The first time I witnessed this degree, the Fire Department inspected and evicted several busloads of Pennsylvania Masons (they were the last ones in) because the room’s lawful capacity had been exceeded. Click here and follow the instructions.

Bring photo ID to enter the building, Masonic ID to work your way into the lodge, and your apron.
