‘Plucky’ Patrick Elliott completes Europa Belfast abseil aged 75

October 5, 2019 By Jorge Garcia Leave a Comment

W. Bro. Patrick Elliott, a member of Sir George Clark Memorial Lodge 669, Belfast received cheers and applause from the crowd as he reached the bottom of the Europa hotel.

“It was very hard work,” he said. “It was so windy I swung about a bit, but oh yes, I enjoyed it, I feel it’s well worth it. My legs ached like anything and my right arm where I held the rope, and my hair was all sticking out.
”‘Plucky Patrick” has raised £900 for the Grand Master’s Vision 2020 appeal. The appeal includes the charity Médecins Sans Frontières, the RNLI, Simon Communities of Ireland and Simon Community Northern Ireland.
Patrick’s sister Mary Elliott worked with Médecins Sans Frontières as a nurse for many years in foreign and difficult countries.
His total raised so far is over £600.

Well done Patrick on your bravery – let’s support him to achieve his £1,000 target!

Happy New Year 2019

December 31, 2018 By Jorge Garcia Leave a Comment


This an important time of the year for many Brethren in setting goals and resolutions for the year to come. What goals have you set for yourself in the lodge? Is there a piece of ritual that you would like to learn? 
Is your goal to be a more active lodge member? 
Is there a friend that you plan to talk to about becoming a Freemason?

Of course, many of us don’t always follow through on their resolutions and within a couple of weeks, they are largely forgotten. But as a Freemason, whatever your particular goal or resolution might be, you have a great advantage. In our Fraternity, there is always a trusty brother waiting to assist you. Perhaps you are that brother who will be asked to assist. 
One of our purposes is to make good men better. I can’t think of any better way to do this than helping another brother achieve a goal!

I hope that your 2019 or 6019 A.L. is a prosperous one in achieving both your personal goals and Masonic goals.

Sincerely & Fraternally,
W. Bro. Romeo Godines
W. Master Lodge 669

WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. Its roots lie in the traditions and ceremonies of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles. Some rituals are still celebrated today.

VALUES

Freemasonry has always been about making good men better. Individuals aim to shape their lives around five core principles.

Integrity: We say what we mean, and we keep our promises.

Kindness: Although our families come first, we believe in playing a key role in our communities and give time and money to charitable ventures.

Honesty: We pride ourselves on openness, about what being a Freemason means for us.

Fairness: We treat everyone as equal – we listen to others, explore any differences and look for common ground.

Tolerance: We respect the opinions of others and behave with understanding towards them.

IS FREEMASONRY FOR ME?

Freemasonry means different things to every individual, making many new friends, contributing to society, celebrating a long tradition, experiencing personal growth, having fun.

Lodge No. 669

Our logo

Welcome to Masonic Lodge No. 669, Belfast,Northern Ireland.

Our Lodge meets on the 4th Saturday every month except June, July and
August, at 6:30 pm in the Leighton room of Freemasons' Hall, Arthur Square, Belfast, Northern Ireland

Becoming a Freemason

Many people assume that to become a Freemason,​ ​a man must​ ​be invited to join. This is not​ ​so, in fact, while members might encourage their friends to join, they do not typically recruit or invite candidates for membership.

If you are interested in joining us, we encourage you to simply ask any Freemason. If you don’t know a member and wish to join​, please email us via our Secretary HERE with your name, and contact details.
After each Lodge 669 meeting, we have an informal meal which applicants can also attend to meet the Lodge members, and enjoy some excellent food and good company.
We look forward to meeting you.

“There are no strangers in Freemasonry, only friends you’ve yet to meet.” George Washington
