2024-01-20 08:00 - 16:00 | Minneapolis Scottish Rite, 2011 Dupont Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN, 55405, United States
The 2024 One-Day-to-Masonry is scheduled to be held on January 20, 2024, at the Minneapolis Scottish Rite.
As with past One-Day-to-Masonry events, this one will include a continental breakfast and a hearty lunch. All three degrees will be portrayed in full form. Brothers attending on the sidelines will enjoy the degree work every bit as much as the candidates will.
The total cost for candidates (not including lodge dues) is $250. This fee includes all degree fees and assessments, white leather apron, ritual cipher, Minnesota Masonic Manual, meals for the candidate, and other items.
All Master Masons are invited and encouraged to attend. If a Brother just wants to stop in to witness some of the degree work, no reservation is required; but if the Brother plans on staying for lunch, a ticket is required. Lunch tickets are $20 and advanced registration is required. The only tickets available for purchase the day of the event will be last minute cancellations, so please purchase your lunch tickets in advance.
THE DEADLINE FOR CANDIDATE REGISTRATIONS AND PURCHASING MEAL TICKETS IS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10TH.
First-line signers are asked to have the candidate complete a regular petition for the degrees. That petition must be sent to the local Lodge along with the required fee and a request to attend this One-Day-to-Masonry event. Time will soon be drawing short, so do not delay—assist your candidate in completing his petition today.
If you have any questions, contact your District Representative or the Grand Lodge office (office@mnfreemasons.org | 952-948-6700, 800-245-6050).

Grand Lodge Monitor Exams
2024-02-02 08:00 - 16:30 | Minnesota Masonic Heritage Center, 11411 Masonic Home Drive, Bloomington, MN, 55437, United States
The Board of Custodians has announced that the annual Monitor examinations and re-certifications will be held on February 2-3, 2024. Both will take place at the Masonic Heritage Center in Bloomington. The lodge doors will open at 8:30 a.m. on both days; coffee at 8:00. Monitors wishing to take part in the re-examination or those wishing to be re-certified are asked to contact WB Al Golder, Chairman of the Board of Custodians (algolder@gmail.com).
Any Master Mason is also invited to be a sideliner during the examination so that he may become familiar with the process of being certified as a Monitor. The requirements to become a Monitor are quite simple. The Brother need not have served as Master of his Lodge. However, to be certified for the first time, he should bring a letter from his Lodge certifying that, in the Lodge’s opinion, the Brother is proficient in the work of the degree on which he wishes to be certified. He must also be familiar with the manual of the rod, balloting and the examination of visitors; as laid out in the Minnesota Masonic Code, Section G18.17-G18.20.
Please be sure to RSVP if you plan to attend.
