LOCAL HISTORY

On June 25, 1857, St. John's Lodge No. 82 received its Warrant of Constitution under the Grand Lodge of Canada, signifying a significant milestone in its journey. The lodge continued to thrive, with memorable events such as the 105th Anniversary celebration in 1982 and its monumental 150th Anniversary in 2007, which included the establishment of a yearly Lodge Barbeque tradition

In 1998, a new chapter commenced for St. John's Lodge No 82 with the construction of a new Lodge building at 98 Scott Avenue in Paris (pictured right). The dedication ceremonies and significant events, such as District Masters' night and Friend to Friend night, enriched the lodge's community engagement and Masonic traditions.

As St. John's Lodge No. 82 continues to evolve with new members and initiatives, the spirit of brotherhood and dedication to Masonic principles remain unwavering. Celebrations like the 150th Anniversary in 2007, dedicated to honoring past members and milestones, demonstrate the lodge's enduring commitment to its heritage and future progress.
