Celebrating 25 Years of Fraternity Lodge No. 54
October 23–24, 2026 | Washington, D.C.
In 2001, Fraternity Lodge No. 54, F.A.A.M., received its charter and began a new chapter of Freemasonry in Washington, D.C.
Twenty-five years later, we invite our Brothers to come together for a special weekend celebrating our Lodge, the fellowship that has defined it, and the generations of Brothers who have helped shape Fraternity Lodge.
The weekend will culminate on Saturday, October 24, with our 25th Anniversary Celebration at the historic House of the Temple on 16th Street NW. Fraternity Lodge Brothers are invited to attend with a non-Masonic guest, such as a spouse, partner or family member. Following the Lodge’s Stated Communication, Brothers and their guests will come together for an open Installation of Officers, cocktails, and a special Festive Board of Celebration marking this milestone in the life of our Lodge.
This is more than an anniversary dinner. It is an opportunity to celebrate where we have been, the bonds of brotherhood we share today, and the next chapter of Fraternity Lodge No. 54.
