DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OOFF OF LODGE OFFICERS
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIESOFLODGE OFFICERSANDCOMMITTEE CHAIRMENPREFACEIt is true these guidelines arethe result of years of experience buttimes and circumstances change. Theseguidelines can be changed as the needarises.Suggestionsarealwayswelcomed and will be seriouslyconsidered. It is best if they aresubmitted in writing. It is mostimportant all officers understand whatthe Lodge and Masonry are trying toachieve. If you have any questions youcan talk to any of the officers higher inline including the Master or a PastMaster for information.Freemasonry is a system ofmorality, veiled in allegory, andillustrated by symbols. These are thesurest ways by which the moral andethical truths may be taught. Thepurpose of Freemasonry is likened to ajourney on the paths of charitable,benevolent, educational and spiritualgrowth. Effective ritual fosters thatjourney, and is the thread which bindsus to those who immediately precededus, as their ritual bound them to theirfathers and grandfathers. We shouldalways keep in mind our direction andnot be distracted by petty quarrels, butmaintaining the proper course to betterserve our Lodge, our families, ourcommunities and ourselves.It is extremely important thatthere be a spirit of cooperation betweenall of the officers. But remember, theMaster makes the ultimate decision andhas total responsibility. It is hoped thatthis will be a valuable reference tool foryou and that you may find it anindispensable part of your Masoniclibrary. However, we caution you notto leave it on the shelf to collect dust.Otherwise our labors and efforts willhave been in vain and you will notlearn what is expected of you.These guidelines are intended tobe a comprehensive set of what aregenerally accepted as regulations orrules for the various stations, and toserve as a guide as to what shouldresult in the best functioning of thelodge. It should make for the mosteffective presentation of our ritualthereby better educating our candidatesand brethren.1
OVERVIEWprogression are: Inside Sentinel, JuniorSteward, Senior Steward, JuniorDeacon,SeniorDeacon,JuniorWarden, Senior Warden and Master. Ina normal progression, this would takeeight years to complete. In addition,with most lodges the outgoing Mastertraditionally fills the position ofMarshal for the following year. This isto provide an officer who is familiarwith both ritual and floor work, thus atotal of a nine-year commitment.INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this guide is toclearly specify the duties of a MasonicLodge officer. First, duties in generalfor all officers and secondly, thespecific duties and responsibilities foreach officer. The Installation ritual alsolists specific duties, particularly for theMaster.TheConstitutionsandRegulations of the Most WorshipfulGrand Lodge of Ancient Free andAcceptedMasonsoftheCommonwealth of Massachusetts alsohave requirements relative to the dutiesof each officer, particularly for theMaster and Wardens. All officersshould read and become familiar withtheGrandConstitutionsandRegulations and should also be familiarwith the By-laws of their lodge.Althoughitisnormallyexpected that any member appointed inline will progress up through the lineto Master and then serve a year asnotMarshal,advancementisautomatic. One must demonstrate acertain level of proficiency in thecurrent office in order to be consideredfor advancement to the succeedingoffice. This includes not onlyproficiency in the ritual, but attendanceat district meetings as required,including LOI's and Exemplification, aswell as the performance in the dutiesand responsibilities of his current officeas outlined herein. In most lodges allline officers up to and including SeniorDeacon are appointed annually by theMaster and serve at his will andpleasure. In some lodges though, theSenior Deacon is also an elected officer.There are no permanent line positionsin a Masonic Lodge. The Wardens areelected and it is assumed they willprogress normally to the office ofMaster and then to Marshal if that isthe local lodge tradition.OBJECTIVEThis guide is written for thepurpose of helping to develop andmaintain a long tradition in your lodgeof excellence in the functioning of itsofficers, particularly the line officerswho move through the various officesover a period of years. It is the desire ofthe lodge to continue to maintain thistradition. The objective is to define theduties so that ALL officers will be ableto clearly understand the importance ofeach officer's performance and how it isvital to maintaining this tradition.It is fully recognized that weare, by any definition, a “volunteerorganization” and with it come theother demands and responsibilities thatrequire our attention. Those being theCONTINUATION IN LINEThe line officers in order of2

The Electrician, Tyler,Organist, Chaplain and Marshal areresponsible to the Master.demands of our families and employerswhich should take precedence overparticipation in lodge affairs. But it isdesired that once an officer makes acommitment to the lodge, it will bekept to the best of his ability for theduration of his term, whether it be forthe year or up to and including Master.Given that participation in lodge issupposed to be “recreation,” it is alsodesirable that, if married, the officerhas the support of his wife and family.This makes for better relations in boththe family and the lodge.In matters of ritual and floorwork, all officers should pay strictattention to the ritualist or ritualistswho are responsible only to the Masterwho appoints them.The Treasurer and Secretary arealso elected officers of the lodge, butare governed by the Constitutions andRegulations of Grand Lodge and theBy-laws of the respective lodge.If at any time an officer finds hecannot continue the commitment forthe time being, he should discuss thematter with the Master. It is preferableto resolve the matter as soon aspossible, even if it means dropping outof line temporarily. This would meanthat he could be considered in thefuture if or when he is able to make thecommitment. Being forced out couldprejudice future involvement whencircumstances change.Committee Chairmen, althoughnot officers of the lodge, are expectedto perform their duties with diligenceand enthusiasm. Their work is veryimportant to the overall effectiveness ofthe lodge. Trustees should also performtheir duties with care and diligence inorder to keep the lodge as fiscallyhealthy as possible.Our fraternity is based oncertain standards. By adhering to thesesimple rules our organization willflourish. If shortcuts are taken andrules ignored, then in time, ourgeneration will be responsible for thedownfall of Masonry from the positionit occupies today.RELATIONSHIP OF OFFICERSAll officers are responsible tothe Master as the top officer of thelodge. However, the Senior Deacon hasthe responsibility for the junior officersof the line. Also, the Junior and SeniorStewards work under the direction ofthe Junior Warden during meal times3
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR ALL OFFICERS Funerals and Visiting Hours for allmembers.ATTENDANCE Visits to our sick brethren, asrequested by the Master, Wardensor Service Committee Chairman.REQUIREDThe following events REQUIREthe attendance of all officers, except asnoted. It is understood that there willbe times when an officer cannot attendone of the required events.

In cases where degree work ininvolved, this notice should be ATLEAST three full days in advance if atall possible in order to provide forsubstitutes.When an officer becomes aware of thesickness or illness of a brother or amember of his family, he should reportit to the lodge Secretary or Master andto the Service Committee Chairman.He should also plan to visit saidbrother.LODGE OF INSTRUCTION Exemplification of degree work,once yearly.Published monthly in the lodgenotice is a directive that all officers arerequired to attend the monthly Lodgeof Instruction.

They should be prepared to dothis at any time. A new officer in lineshould be prepared to do this by thefourth meeting of the year.Other conversations not relatedto the rehearsal should be held outsideof the rehearsal hall as they only serveto interfere with the learning process.See paragraph on CONDUCT.DOUBLE STEPSTEP-UPEach officer should be familiarenough with the second office abovehim to perform the ritual and duties ofsaid office with 24 hour notice andsome assistance.EXEMPLIFICATIONHeld annually pursuant to awarrant issued to each District DeputyGrand Master by the Grand Master is aDistrict Exemplification of the ritual.All officers, elected and appointed, arerequired to attend the annualExemplification.

The Master andWardens should each have a copy intheir possession. The other officersmay borrow a copy from the Secretaryor a Warden.CONDUCTThe conduct of the officers isvery important to the impression thatthe lodge makes on others, and to the5
meeting with a prospective candidateand his sponsor, the Master andWardens should be dressed neatly. Asin all contact with non-Masons, one isto act in such a way as to give the mostfavorable impression. Proper dress forthe Lodge of Instruction is a shirt andtie, sports jacket and slacks or businesssuit, dress shoes and socks. In short, anofficer should always dress in adignified manner reflecting the respecthe has for his brethren and theirrespect for him.quality of work and performance in thelodge. All officers should alwaysremember this and act accordingly. Aspart of this there is no place for levity,horseplay or other unseemly behaviorin the lodge room or in the preparationroom, nor during the actual instructionperiod for candidates. There is ampleopportunity for fun and frolic beforeand after the meetings and instructionperiods. This also applies to rehearsals,although certainly some humor may beallowed as long as it does not impact anofficer's ability to learn the ritual andfloor work. However, it is important toremember that other officers are tryingto learn the work, so any humorshould not be disruptive of this end asit could impact upon the candidates. Alittle thought given to this willaccomplish much in maintaining therespect and the dignity of the work.The black tuxedo is worn forseveral reasons. First, as we primarilymeet in the evening, it is the sociallyaccepted formal attire. Second, as anofficer, it is used to make one stand outand by so doing give the air of dignityand authority. The stature an officerreceives by wearing a tuxedo will givethe brethren the incentive to look tohim for leadership and guidance. It istheofficer'sresponsibilitytounderstand this and maintain theintegrity of a Masonic Lodge officer.DRESSThe dress for officers duringmeetings or on any official function isnormally black tuxedo with unruffledwhite shirt with standard collar, blackbow tie, black socks and black shoes,and a pair of white parade gloves.While in lodge an officer will wear theofficer's collar and apron of hisinstalled station. The collar issilvertone with blue underlining withthe emblem of the office suspendedfrom the bottom. The collar may havethe emblem encircled or not. Theemblem will also be on the lodgeofficer's apron, which will be worn inplace of the usual blue-bordered whiteapron worn by members.The parade white dress glovesare important because that is whatmakes all officers equal. One officermay be a plumber by trade, a second alawyer, a third may be a constructionlaborer. Simply looking at a man'shands will usually indicate if he is alaborer or white collar worker.Unfortunately, there are certain innateprejudicesregardingcareerdescriptions. What this means is that aman of a certain labor group may notbe able to command as much respectfrom someone as he could if he didsomething else. If all officers arewearing white gloves, it may helpeliminate the prejudices and make allofficers equal. Remember, formal wearis an officer's uniform when in lodge.It is preferred that officers beneat and clean, with beards andmustaches trimmed and well kept. Forcandidate instruction they should beneatly dressed. For an applicationAs time passes, officers willhave the opportunity to wear a pocket6
jewel. The rule of thumb is to wear itwhen you are in a lodge room. If youare anywhere outside the lodgebuilding, do not wear the jewel. Thisincludes parades, church services,Funeral services and banquet facilitiesthat are not Masonic.apron of higher office and any pocketjewels he has earned. When a PastMaster temporarily fills a vacant office,he is to only wear the collar of theoffice he is temporarily assuming, notthe apron.Whenever in lodge, officersshould maintain good posture. Thismeans sitting in an erect position whenin the assigned station, with both feetplanted firmly on the floor. One shouldnot slouch, lean to one side, or crossthe legs. An officer should sit tall andproud, carrying himself at all times insuch a manner to command the respectof the brethren.The reason for this is becausepocket jewels are for use only at lodgefunctions and are not for publicdisplay. We do not want to tempt fateby wearing these jewels outside. Theycould fall apart or some elements ofour society could come forward andattempt to take them in the belief theyare worth money. If we do not wearjewels in public, we will not encouragethat sort of behavior. Further supportfor this policy can be found in section818 of the Grand Constitutions.APPLICATION MEETINGSAn application meeting shouldbe normally held in an ancillary roomin the lodge building. The applicationmeeting is usually held in the lodge sothe candidate may see the beauty ofyour building and its facilities, but atthe discretion of the Master, it may beheld at some other suitable place. Inthis case, arrangements should be madefor the candidates to see the building.Application meetings should not beheld during rehearsals.Regarding Masonic FuneralServices, the only brethren not in whiteaprons will be the lodge officers.Everyone should wear a dark businesssuit with a dress shirt, conservative tie,dress shoes and socks. There shouldbe no pocket jewels of any sort, no PastMaster's Aprons or any other apronworn except as noted above. Finally, allMasons at a Funeral Service are to beaddressed as “Brother.” See section on“MASONIC TITLES.”On the subject of aprons, allbrothers must have an apron whileattendinglodge.Thisincludesinstallations and other semi-publicaffairs. The apron is the working toolof the Mason and we are at “work”when we are in lodge. While somejurisdictions permit aprons to be wornunder the jacket, in Massachusetts anapron is ALWAYS worn outside thejacket. It is never worn underneath.If a Past Master is installed intoan office he is to wear the collar of thatoffice. He may wear the apron of thatoffice, his Past Master's apron, or otherMASONIC TRESTLEBOARDThe Masonic Trestle-board issomething every officer should have inhis possession.

returns to “Worshipful.” The otherskeep the title of Right Worshipful forlife. A brother who is elected to serveas Junior or Senior Grand Warden isalso addressed as Right Worshipful andkeeps his title for life. If a Past GrandWarden or Past Deputy Grand Masteris elected to serve as Grand Master, heis addressed as “Most WorshipfulGrand Master,” Grand Master, orBrother last name . He also keeps histitle of Most Worshipful along with hisregalia for life. Form of Application for the Degrees Official Visitation program Dedication of Masonic Halls andConstitution of a new lodgeMASONIC TITLESThereissomeapparentconfusion as to when to use titles andwho is addressed as what. First,Masonic titles are not to be used inpublic settings. They are meant to beused in lodge only. First and foremost,we are all “Brothers.” When we becameMasons, we became Brothers and whenwe leave this mortal world, we willleave as Brothers. All else is transitory.ADDRESSING THE LODGEWhen desiring to speak to theMaster or the Lodge when in session, itis proper protocol to raise your handand await recognition from the Master.When acknowledged by the Master, itis preferred that the speaker standwhen speaking.While somejurisdictions require a speaker to salutethe Master prior to or while speaking,it is not necessary in Massachusetts.Thus said, any brother servingas an officer is to be addressed as“Brother name of station .” Forexample, Brother Senior Warden,Brother Marshal or Brother JuniorSteward. This also holds true even ifthe brother occupying an office is aPast Master. When a brother is dulyinstalled as Master of his Lodge, he isaddressed as “Worshipful Master” orWorshipful Brother last name for theyear. If he takes no station after histerm as Master, he is entitled to beaddressed as Worshipful Brother lastname , not “Worshipful Charlie” or“Worshipful Jones.”If a Past Master is named by theGrand Master to be his representativeor emissary, he is addressed as “RightWorshipful.” This includes the DeputyGrand Master, District Grand Master,District Deputy Grand Master, orGrand Representative. The GrandRepresentative is addressed as RightWorshipful only for the time he servesin that capacity. After he has served, ifhe has not served in one of theaforementioned positions, his titleTRAVELING WITH THEDISTRICT DEPUTY GRANDMASTERThe only brethren expected totravel with the District Deputy GrandMaster are the Masters and Wardens ofthe district's constituent lodges.Permanent members of Grand Lodgemay travel with the District Deputy butusually do not unless they arespecifically invited. All other PastMasters, Past District Deputy GrandMasters, and junior officers should notautomatically assume they can travelwith the District Deputy Grand Master.Most District Deputies offer a blanketinvitation to all officers, Past Mastersand Past District Deputy Grand8
Masters, and they encourage the juniorofficers to attend whenever possible. Itis advisable to check with the currentDistrictDeputyGrandMasterregarding his policy.District Deputy Grand Marshal. Oneshould not address the lodge unlesscalled upon to do so by the DistrictDeputy Grand Master. Finally, there isto be no prompting of officers on theirritual by any member of the suiteunless specifically asked to do so by theWorshipful Master or District DeputyGrand Master.When traveling on a suite, theappropriate dress would be as if onewere in his own lodge, includingtuxedo, apron and gloves. TheWardens and Master have a specialtraveling apron and pocket jewel theywill wear. Other officers will wear plainwhite aprons obtained from the lodgebeing visited. Past Masters and PastDistrict Deputy Grand Masters willwear their respective aprons andjewels. When entering the lodge roomon the suite, there is to be no talking.After being introduced to the Master ofthe Lodge, you should proceed to aconvenient seat as directed by theGRAND MASTER'S AWARDEach officer should be aware ofthe requirements each year for thisaward so as to support the Master inobtaining this award should he sodesire.The requirements for thisaward are available from the Secretaryor from the Grand Master's office.9
