Past Masters of Martin Luther King Jr. No. 65

Past Masters are distinguished individuals who have been duly elected and served as Masters of Chartered Lodges. They are highly valued members within any Lodge, especially in the case of Martin Luther King Jr. #65, which is relatively young, small, and tightly knit. While every Master Mason in good standing is considered equal to a Past Master in terms of status, it is in matters of participation, duty, conduct, and discipline that their experience and wisdom shine.

In order to facilitate easier access for younger brothers seeking personal guidance and advice, the Past Masters offer their counsel and support. Each one of them embodies the highest principles, wisdom, dignity, and commitment to our esteemed fraternity. The Worshipful Master recommends them to you, encouraging you to seek their assistance whenever needed, as they can provide valuable support to complement the work of the current Master.
