The 161st Annual Grand Communication


Thank You

From the desk of the 63rd Most Worshipful Grand Master

To the Brethren and our Honored Guests — It is with profound gratitude that I extend my thanks to each of you for your presence at the 161st Annual Grand Communication. Your fellowship, dedication, and Masonic spirit transformed our days in Muskegon into a Communication of true harmony and accord.

Together we deliberated, celebrated, and renewed the fraternal bonds that distinguish our beloved Craft. The work of this Session — accomplished with one voice and one purpose — will guide our Jurisdiction through the year ahead.

May the Supreme Architect keep you safely on your homeward journey, and may we meet again in love and labor.
