Charity Lodge is located in Mahone Bay, on the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia. The Lodge received its Warrant on 28 December 1874 and has operated continuously since that time. It meets on the third Tuesday of the month, except for July and August. The building that houses Charity Lodge was purchased in the early 1920s, originally being an oil skin factory supplying the fishing industry. The Rev. Canon Harris, a member of the Lodge, was its chief architect and through a labour of love created what is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful Lodges in Nova Scotia, and possibly the whole country. Situated north, east, south and west are finely carved columns depicting the various forms of Greek architecture, and there are floor to ceiling murals at each of those points, depicting Masonic and pastoral scenes.
Visitors are most welcome to view the Lodge interior, and arrangements can be made by contacting any member of Charity Lodge or e-mailing the Master Wor.Bro. Ronald Minnick.
