Welcome From

  The Provincial Grand Master for Leicestershire & Rutland

Right Worshipful Brother Michael H Roalfe J.P.

This internet site is now well established and has proved of interest during its life to both Masons and non-Masons alike and on behalf of all the Brethren of this Province I extend a warm welcome and hope that you will find much to interest you.

The various web pages listed on the left have been extended to include all the other Degrees and Orders which meet in Leicestershire and Rutland and I hope this inclusion will stimulate yet further interest.  The names and addresses of the contact in each Degree is listed and they will be most pleased to hear from you.

The Province has its own publication, the Leicester Square, in Autumn and Spring and which contains much information of recent events and those which will occur in the immediate future.  The Leicester Square is available from a link on the Home Page.

As Masons we are justifiably proud of our record of giving to charities again both Masonic and non-Masonic.  The funds for this, which are between £15,000,000 and £20,000,000 per annum are all raised within the Craft and this Province is very proud of its Festival in 2001 for the Grand Charity, which raised £1,877,278.00.  In that year Masonic grants to non-Masonic causes exceeded £2,750,000.00 – a truly magnificent record.  We are now starting work towards the next Festival in 2012 on behalf of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution.  I am sure that with the support of the Brethren in the Province we will be equally proud of our Appeal.  More about this Festival is to be found elsewhere on this site.

  More information about our charities can be found within the website.
