On Sunday, November 23rd, the 61st Annual Santa Parade brought thousands of families to downtown Haverhill for one of the community’s most cherished holiday traditions. Freemasonry was strongly represented this year, with an impressive turnout from across the jurisdiction.
The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, led by the Grand Master, M.W. George F. Hamilton, marched with dignity and warmth, embodying the principles of brotherhood and service. They were joined by Saggahew Lodge, the Aleppo Shriners, and Newburyport Commandery No. 3, whose presence added color, pageantry, and fraternal spirit to the procession.
Charity Lodge was proudly represented by P.M. Ali Taciroglu, who joined the parade to support our local Brothers and to demonstrate the unity and friendship that bind all Massachusetts Masons. His participation helped ensure that Charity Lodge was part of this uplifting community event, celebrating the start of the holiday season with our neighbors.
The Santa Parade remains a joyful reminder of the shared values—charity, fellowship, and civic engagement—that Freemasons strive to uphold year-round. We look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with our Brothers again next year.
