Welcome to Lodge Kirknewton & Ratho No. 85


Picture
Dear Brethren,
As we celebrate the joy and peace of the Christmas season, I extend to each of you and your families my warmest fraternal greetings. May this special time of year bring happiness to your homes, renewed hope to your hearts, and rest from the labours of the year past.
As we look forward to the New Year, may it be filled with good health, harmony, and prosperity. May it also strengthen the bonds of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth that unite us as Freemasons, and inspire us to continue our work with dedication, humility, and charity.
Thank you for your fellowship, commitment, and support throughout the year. I look forward to meeting again in the Lodge and continuing our journey together in the coming year.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Peaceful, and Prosperous New Year. Fraternally yours, Robert W. Scott, Master
