MASTER MASON DEGREE at HISTORIC CATARACT MASONIC TEMPLE

Lake Harriet Lodge No. 277 presented a Special Master Mason Degree on Saturday, June 8th, when we gathered at the Historic Cataract Masonic Temple at Aveda Institute of Arts and Sciences.in collaboration with our Brethren of Cataract Lodge No. 2, the pioneers of Freemasonry in Minneapolis.

We experienced the revival of Freemasonry in this iconic venue, where every corner echoed with the wisdom of Brethren from ages past. The Sublime Degree was beautifully exemplified, with hors d'oeuvres and refreshments enjoyed between each section. Indulge in the sophistication of the Cosmopolitan Room at Jax Cafe during the cocktail hour, where fine drinks and camaraderie await. Then, transition to the Festive Board for an evening of exquisite dining and traditional Masonic toasts.

The day was a momentous occasion for Minnesota Freemasonry as we returned to Historic Cataract Temple for the first time since 1946, and was a day filled with tradition, Brotherhood, and celebration.
