🤝🇬🇧🇮🇪FREEMASONRY ACROSS BORDERS – A VERY SPECIAL INSTALLATION IN STOCKPORT! 🇮🇪🇬🇧🤝
Freemasonry knows no borders, and on Saturday 14th November, we’re set for a fantastic celebration of friendship, brotherhood and the bonds that unite Freemasons across the Irish Sea!
We are delighted to be welcoming 20 Brethren from Northern Ireland, including a former Head of the Londonderry and Donegal Freemasons, alongside senior Freemasons from Antrim, all under the Grand Lodge of Ireland.
They’ll be joining us to celebrate Dene Bonar’s Installation as Master of his Lodge, a particularly special occasion given Dene’s Northern Irish roots and his membership of Lodges in both Provinces
The visit follows Vernon Lodge’s trip from Stockport to Northern Ireland earlier this year, demonstrating how friendships forged through Freemasonry continue to grow, regardless of geography. 🤝
🔹 What is an Installation?
Every Freemasons Lodge is led by a Worshipful Master, a member elected to preside over its meetings, guide its activities and uphold its traditions. An Installation is the special ceremony where the incoming Master formally takes up that responsibility, usually for a year.
It’s one of the highlights of the calendar, made even more memorable when friends travel from far and wide to share the occasion.
📅 Saturday 14th November 2026
With such a wonderful gathering of Brethren from both sides of the Irish Sea, this promises to be a truly memorable day.
Different Provinces. Different countries. One brotherhood. 🌍🤝
