Prospect Masonic Lodge Supports Roslindale Food Pantry

During the September 28, 2025, Sunday morning worship service at the Roslindale Congregational Church, Prospect Masonic Lodge of Westwood, MA presented a generous financial donation to the Roslindale Food Pantry, which is located at and supported by the church. The presentation continues a lodge tradition of supporting the community from which the lodge originated. In fact, the relationship between the church and the lodge dates to 1890.

In 1890, the Roslindale Congregational Church was gathered on Conway Street, and the lodge was chartered and began meeting on South Street. It was not by coincident that in those early days men from the church helped form the lodge. Since then, both have been forever linked, with several men still belonging to the lodge and the church.

Freemasonry has a rich history of supporting charitable organizations in Massachusetts and throughout the country. It is one of the tenants of the fraternity, which encourages each member to find ways to help others. The donation serves as a tangible connection to the lodge’s roots and the community that depends on the food pantry to alleviate food insecurity. Prospect Lodge looks forward to continuing that tradition in the years ahead.
