Summer Solstice is an important in many cultures and traditions, including of course, in Freemasonry. While it’s often celebrated on June 24th in most Masonic jurisdictions to honor St. John the Baptist, Kenton also wanted to observe the natural date of the Summer Solstice this year–which falls perfectly on a Thursday–by conferring the Fellowcraft Degree on Brother Manase Salema.

Brother Salema’s degree was preceded by his impressive rendition of the Entered Apprentice proficiency a week prior during the lodge’s June stated meeting.

Next week, Kenton will be performing its fifth Entered Apprentice Degree by initiating Mr. Carl Lucas.
