While we are a Regular lodge, there are some things about us that add to the intended atmosphere.

Those who arrive to lodge early will find ample  charcuterie and drink preceding the meeting.

The position of Piper, or Bagpiper, is listed in out By-Laws as an officer of the lodge. A position of great honor, the Piper leads the procession into lodge during every regular meeting. Our Piper has a beautiful and unique jewel of office. 

Visitors and members will be seated in the lodge room as the lodge officers, led by the Piper, process into the lodge room , taking their office at the appropriate time.

There will be education presented during each meeting.

Where the presiding officer of a lodge of Masons might call for any news of a need for relief, etc., the presiding officer of Lodge St. Andrew will instead rise 3 times to call for various reports on subjects such as relief, and more.

When the meeting has closed, the Master and Wardens will exit the lodge room first so that they may extend the hand of fellowship and gratitude to all who attended our meeting.

We will hold a dinner or festive board after the meeting concludes, either at a local restaurerat, or on site.

Afterwards, there is ample opportunity for additional fellowship; while not required, those who smoke cigar or pipe tobacco may wish to bring them.
