Peaceful Masonic Lodge 181, PHA announces new officers

Peaceful Lodge 181, PHA, recently elected and appointed officers for 2024. The lodge was founded on July 13, 1983, with the vision of continuing the Masonic works of Prince Hall, the main organization’s original founder. The newly elected Worshipful Master Lorenzo M. Ware Jr. has set the vision for this year. “Our commitment to put our community first remains steadfast,” Ware said. “Earlier in February we purchased and delivered 20 pizzas to our hardworking Sikeston Bulldogs (varsity and junior varsity) basketball players. We partnered with the City of Sikeston through the adoption of Lincoln Park and anticipate a year of more community partnerships that will lead to the success of all.” Pictured are front row, from left: Chaplain RW Michael K.
