Brethren,

It is my great pleasure and an honour to serve you as Worshipful Master of St. Andrews # 53.

Our Lodge has such wonderful history and has been conducted by many highly esteemed Past Masters who have set a high standard for us to follow and continue our craft for centuries to come.

I would like all of us to reflect on the reason why we meet as Masons. There is a purpose to our craft, it is to help us grow within and build our own upright edifice. Become a better man of good character with morals and values wither in our personal or professional lives by implicating the lessons we learn in lodge. Each of us is to learn from one and other as well as support each other when needed. Most importantly friendships are developed and we are all Brothers.

The craft is also a spiritual journey where all men of all colour with different religious beliefs can all reunite with an open mind at the same time and experience fraternal harmony and be all on the same level and acceptance.

Faith, Hope, and Charity is the foundation of Freemasonry. Charity does not only apply in a monetary sense, often just by offering your time is as valuable if not more appreciated. Our time on earth is precious and should be fulfilled with accomplishments and leave behind a legacy.

That legacy being the difference you have made to make this world a better place for future generations.

Fraternally yours,

WB. Karim Rahill

WM. St. Andrews # 53
