Lodge Profile

Sabrina Lodge was consecrated in 1920, and is one of 36 Masonic lodges in the Province of Shropshire warranted by the United Grand Lodge of England. Sabrina (pronounced Sabr-eye-na) meets at Freemasons Hall, Crewe Street, Shrewsbury SY1 2HQ – formerly St Michael’s Church. The meetings are held monthly, usually on the first Monday of each month from October to May inclusive, although an adjustment is often made in January and/or May to account for the Bank Holiday.

The evening begins at 1800h with a Ceremony or an educational presentation followed by other Lodge business. This is followed at about 2000h by a formal meal called the Festive Board, and the evening normally ends by about 2200h.

Rehearsals for Ceremonies are held normally on the Friday evening before each meeting, and those Brethren of the Lodge who are involved are very much encouraged to attend. New members are involved early on, and most follow a well-structured progression which ultimately will lead them to become Worshipful Master of the Lodge for a year. In time, Brethren will be encouraged to visit other Lodges, perhaps join other Orders and/or do other work according to their inclination and abilities.

In addition to Masonic meetings, the Lodge holds social events and informal gatherings, and often supports those held by other lodges and the Province. Partners and friends are often welcomed to these. Money raised by the Lodge is donated to its own charities, to the Shropshire funds and also to the national Masonic charities, which give impressive donations to many worthy causes.

Sabrina’s membership is drawn from many different backgrounds, welcomes different Faiths and a spread of ages too. It is an important rule, however, that religion and politics should never be discussed at a Masonic meeting. Experienced members are tasked with supporting new Brethren through our Mentoring system.

Above all, we enjoy our Freemasonry!
