Singleton Lodge's
Your Masonic Family is Here to Help
Relief is a central tenant of Masonry. We are obligated to help our brothers, their spouses, and their dependent children at their time of need. A majority of this relief is funded directly by the brother’s lodge. Sometimes, however, the need may be greater than an individual lodge can afford to give. To help in these situations, the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia formed several organizations to assist the Lodges and their members. [NEED MORE]
