On November 8, 2025, Charity Lodge was strongly represented at the Valley of Boston Scottish Rite Fall Reunion, reaffirming our commitment to brotherhood, Masonic education, and active participation within the wider Masonic family.
Worshipful Master Michael Simon, P.M. Ali Taciroglu, Brother Askin Bas, Brother Doug Casey, and Charity Lodge Organist Bora Kurucu attended the Reunion, standing shoulder to shoulder with brethren from across the jurisdiction. Their presence and participation reflected the dedication and enthusiasm that continue to define Charity Lodge.
Brother Doug Casey further contributed his time and talents by working with the staging team, helping to ensure that each degree was presented with dignity, order, and precision.
A special word of recognition goes to Brother Askin Bas, who served as a member of the Massachusetts Consistory degree team. His work in the degrees exemplifies both his personal devotion to the Craft and the spirit of active involvement that Charity Lodge encourages in all its members.
During the Reunion, the following Degrees were conferred:
- 4º – Builder
- 5º – Perfect Master
- 6º – Master of the Brazen Serpent
- 16º – Prince of Jerusalem
- 18º – Knight of the Rose Croix of H. R. D. M.

Events such as the Fall Reunion strengthen our fraternal bonds, deepen our understanding of the Scottish Rite, and highlight the active role Charity Lodge continues to play in Massachusetts Masonry.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all who represented the Lodge with honor.
