217 Freemasons

It is with deep sadness that St. Paul’s Lodge No. 500 shares the passing of our Brother, Dr. Ogden Munroe, who passed away on Sunday.

At 94 years old, Brother Munroe was our lodge’s oldest member and, with 68 years of membership, our longest-serving Brother. His nearly seven decades in our fraternity represent a remarkable Masonic journey and a lasting place in the history of St. Paul’s.

Brother Munroe also served as Potentate of Ansar Shrine in 1991. There will be no Masonic service; however, Ansar’s Divan and Past Potentates will honor him with a walkthrough during his visitation on Wednesday.

Please keep his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him in your thoughts and prayers.

Rest well, Brother. You will be remembered.

As Veterans Day approaches, we’re proud to share the story of Navy veteran Brother Rabbi Rob Thomas. 🇺🇸

Brother Thomas learned what brotherhood means in the field, from a teammate who had his back no matter what. Years later, he found that same bond at Harmony Lodge No. 3 in Jacksonville.

“You get to meet people as people,” Brother Thomas said of his Lodge. To learn more about his journey, click the link in the comments.

Thank you, Brother Thomas, for your service.
