MWB Dan Irick at Bent Lodge #42

MWB Dan Irick was a special gue st at Bent Lodge #42's Regular Communication on September 19th, 2011. Brother Irick was introduced at the Altar, given Grand Honors and was invited to sit in the East. He gave a special presentation about his attendance at the Mexico Masonic Congress, where he was introduced as the "Grand Master of the United States." The presentation delved into the practices of Masonic Lodges in Mexico, which unlike Lodges in the U.S. which follow the York Rite Rituals, Mexico follows Scottish Rite Rituals. Bent Lodge Members learned that Masonic Lodges in Mexico have to be more secretive due to the influence of the Catholic Church and the continued persecution of Freemasons by the Church.  The presentation was very much enjoyed by the all Brothers.
