2025 marks a monumental milestone in our journey as the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Wisconsin: 100 years of brotherhood, service, and unwavering dedication to the principles of Freemasonry. Since our founding in 1925, our jurisdiction has grown in our 11 lodges, united by a shared commitment to the betterment of ourselves, our communities, and the world around us. This centennial year is not only a celebration of our history but also an opportunity to reflect on the brothers, past and present, who have helped shaped the fraternity in Wisconsin.


We are pleased to announce a year-long series of events designed to honor our past, celebrate our present, and inspire our future. The festivities began in January 2025 with a celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr in the Capitol Building in Madison alongside Governor Tony Evers and other dignitaries.


The signature celebratory event will be held in September 2025 at Milwaukee's premiere convention hall, The Baird Center.  As the 100th Anniversary Committee Chair,  Right Worshipful Grand Junior Warden Marcel A. Clarke reminds us, “This year-long celebration is a tribute to the generations of members who have upheld the principles of Prince Hall Masonry. It is our chance to honor their legacy while building a path forward for those who follow.”



Brothers, this is our time to come together as a jurisdiction to honor the values that define us and rededicate ourselves to the work ahead. Let us celebrate this milestone with pride and gratitude while recommitting to the principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth. We encourage all members to participate in these events, engage with our shared history, and take an active role in shaping our legacy for the next century. May we continue to shine as beacons of light, truth and hope.


Together, as the Wisconsin jurisdiction of Prince Hall Masons, we stand united in Freemasonry and the enduring spirit of Prince Hall.
