W∴B∴ Greg C. GattoWorshipful Master 2026

Brethren & Friends,

It is my honor to welcome you on behalf of the officers and brethren of our Lodge.

Freemasonry is founded on the principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth. At Mount Ararat Lodge, we strive to uphold these values through fellowship, charity, and a commitment to personal growth. Our Lodge is a place where good men come together to support one another, strengthen our community, and continue the proud traditions of our Craft.

Whether you are a Brother visiting our site, a member of the community, or someone interested in learning more about Freemasonry, we are glad you are here and invite you to learn more about our Lodge and its work.

Fraternally,

Greg Gatto
