A Message for the New Year

"No one has ever become poor from giving."

Anne Frank

Dear Brethren,

The notion of time is a strange phenomenon. It only moves in one direction; a progression from the past into the future. It is measurable and it is a continuum.

And yet another year has passed and although time feels short since I last wrote to you I can only hope you can look back upon it and say, ‘last year was enjoyable and fulfilling’.

This year has been particularly pleasing and successful for the Province with no less than five of our Grand Officers receiving active rank at Mark Grand Lodge. They will have the privilege of wearing their chains for the duration of their year in office and I on behalf of the Province congratulate them and wish them well.

The Mark Benevolent Fund at both National and Provincial level continues to remind us that not is all well in the world. Suffering and tragedy have visited many over the past year and it is gratifying to know that we can play our part through the Mark Benevolent Fund by supporting those in need. This is only possible through the generosity of the brethren and I again thank you all for your support of the Benevolent Funds at both local and national levels.

I was delighted to welcome the Pro Grand Master Most Worshipful Brother John Herbert Prizeman to our Provincial Assembly in June. He was elated with the warm Welsh welcome he received and we were equally pleased that he could visit the Principality.

He outlined the continuing bond between the Craft and the Mark and I would urge you all to support your Craft Lodges as they are the lifeblood of all the other orders.

I wish health and happiness to you and all your families for the upcoming New Year and I look forward greatly to being in your welcoming company during the year always remembering that amongst ‘Mark Master Masons you will always find friends’.

May the Great Overseer and Supreme Commander of the Universe bless and keep you and your families safe and in his care.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Eirian
Provincial Grand Master
