The
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or Grand Lodge of
Massachusetts in short (GLMA) is the main governing body of Freemasonry
within Massachusetts,
and maintains Lodges in certain jurisdictions overseas, namely Panama,
Chile,
the People's
Republic of China and Cuba.
It is considered to be the
third oldest Masonic Grand Lodge in existence (after the United
Grand
Lodge of England (which dates its own existence from
the formation of the Grand Lodge of England
in 1717), and the Grand
Lodge of Ireland (1725)), interpreting the 1733 warrant,
creating Henry
Price
the Provincial Grand Master of New
England, as the creation of the Grand Lodge of
Massachusetts.
The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts operates under
the 'Massachusetts Constitutions and Regulations
of the Grand
Lodge of Massachusetts'. At times this page will document
specific sections or areas of
this document for your information
at the will and pleasure of the District Deputy Grand Master. |
