]]>We had Knights from San Diego Commandery #25 present the flag of our country, and we thank them for imbuing the presentation of the flag with the elegance and dignity it deserves.
We’d like to give a special thanks to our Installation Officer and Inspector, Worshipful Mark Nielsen, who did an excellent job. And we’d also like to especially call out the wonderful work of our installing Master of Ceremonies, Vista Lodge’s very own Worshipful Thomas Colgan! Both Worshipful Mark Nielsen and Worshipful Thomas Colgan are highly respected local leaders in Freemasonry, and as such, it was an incredible honor to have them officiate the day’s ceremonies.
This next year is going to be one of excitement, and a chance to rebuild and re-establish our footing in the traditions we hold dear. Be ready for new and reinvigorated efforts in education, ritual excellence, and social events. But most importantly, we are excited about having another year in service of our amazing fraternity with all of you: our Brothers!

The post We Passed a New Fellow Craft! appeared first on Vista Freemasons.
]]>On Wednesday, November 17th, something exciting happened for Vista Lodge #687. We passed our Brother Jon Henson to the degree of Fellow Craft, and it was a great evening all around. We are so proud of our candidate, and also of all of our Brother’s who performed the degree. It was an excellent degree that really impressed upon the candidate the solemnity of our craft and pride in our traditions. The second degree is a treasured favorite among many in the fraternity, and for good reason.
We put a lot of time and practice into the ceremonies of the degree, and had a lot of fun along the way. Even long-tenured Masons can pick up new themes and information every time they see a degree, and that’s one of the most amazing things about our Fraternity – the learning never ends!
At Vista Lodge #687 we have our own set of Lodge traditions, as I’m sure many Lodges do, and one of them is to celebrate the degree with the candidate. Our celebrations are usually some light refreshments after a degree, enjoying each other’s company, and hearing our Past Masters toast words of wisdom to the candidate. It was a great evening, and a great time was had by all!

In the mean time, check out some of the images below!
The stained glass in the Grand Lodge of California contains many Masonic symbols that are essential to the Craft.

]]>The Casino Night at Vista Lodge on October 23rd, 2021 was a success! Brethren and their families enjoyed fellowship, laughter, and a few card games. While there was no gambling, everyone got to play card games with professional dealers manning the tables and it was a great experience. Some guests even came in their favorite super hero costumes which added to the fun of the evening. We hope to see everyone at the next Casino night!
