Christmas 2023 message from the Provincial Grand Master for and Grand Superintendent in and over the Province of South Wales


Dear Brethren, Companions, Friends and Family,

I greet you well and send you Festive good wishes from myself and all members of the South Wales Joint Executive, this magical Christmas time.

It has certainly been a very busy time across the whole Province, which has included 232 Installations across both Craft and Royal Arch Chapter, where we have welcomed 214 new initiates into our Masonic Family.

I am indebted to you all, for the time, effort and energy which you have put into Freemasonry, both in your individual Lodges and Chapters and for the drive and commitment you have offered to support those in need across our local communities. Freemasonry proves that we are a force for good

The past year has been full of optimism and afforded us great pleasure in our meetings, enjoying each other’s company and being able to support Charities across the Province and indeed beyond. We have again showed that we gather strength by what we can do together and I am so proud of you all.

Freemasonry is unique and special. It encourages us to build a caring society with Integrity, hold a common foundation for Friendship, treat others with respect and create a real impact. Let us enjoy every minute that we have. Look after each other, focus on the positives and what we can achieve together.

Please accept my personal thanks for all the strength and support you give me and I sincerely hope that you, your families and those you love and care for enjoy the miracle of Christmas this year and may the Great Architect keep you safe and well until we meet again.

Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.
