Unity's Masonic Calendar

Welcome to our yearly calendar for Unity No. 146 Masonic Lodge. We have many events to include our Blood Drive in December and February and Table Lodge in March. As most of you know, Unity Lodge is centrally located in the Shenandoah Valley and there are quite a few Masonic events taking place at our Lodge. Below, I have list the Appendant Bodies meeting separately from the Blue Lodge so the Officers will not get confused about what we are doing.

Unity No. 146 Masonic Lodge meets on the 2nd Friday of each month.

Front Royal Chapter Eastern Star meets on the 1st Friday of each month.

Hiram No. 45 Royal Arch Chapter meets on the 3rd Friday of each month.

Shenandoah Valley Chapter of the National Sojourners meeting on the last Saturday of each month.
