WHO'S WHO IN OUR LODGE?
MW Antonio Gonzalez, Sr
Past Grand Master of Masons in the Philippines in 1932 and considered as Father of Philippine York Rite Masonry.
Bro. Tony was initiated, passed, and raised in Luzon Lodge No.57 .He was responsible for organizing Luz Oceanica Lodge No. 85. When this Lodge became “weak,” he was instrumental in having it merged with Island Lodge No.5 and Minerva Lodge No. 14. The merged Lodges became Island-Luz-Minerva Lodge No.5. He was an Honorary Member of 32 subordinate Lodges! Can you beat that? He had another distinction: the only Mason in this jurisdiction to decline his election to the Grand Oriental Chair. When he was re-elected in 1932, he accepted, but at 37 years of age he was still the youngest Grand Master ever of the Grand Lodge of the Philippines. In 1939, he was elected as Grand Secretary and held that position up to 1954. Source: Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippines |
