Hialeah Masons

Last night we held our final Stated Communication of 2025! Congratulations to Worshipful Master Damian Vargas for another excellent year at HOL! We also elected our 2026 officer line. Congratulations to Worshipful Master Elect Bro. Ralph Gonzalez, Senior Warden Elect W∴ Damian Vargas, and Junior Warden Elect Bro. Chris Lima! We are ready to hit the ground running in 2026!

Brother Mario Allende recently enlightened us with his presentation titled “One Pillar at a Time.” His piece explores the deeper symbolism behind the Pillars of our Profession, the story of Ruth and Boaz, and the meaning of building our moral foundation one pillar at a time. Through lessons of compassion, strength, and patience we are reminded that every Brother’s journey is a structure in progress built not in haste, but with purpose and integrity. This piece, as part of the Hialeah Education Series is available to be presented in English at any Lodge, and is open to all Masons. Reach out if you’d like this presented at your Lodge!

It’s been about a month since we welcomed our newest Entered Apprentice, Brother Akim Amen into the fold. We had such a blast conferring this Degree along with our Sister Lodge, Oleeta West Dade No. 145. Another example of how great and beautiful things can be accomplished when our Brothers come together. Please join us in welcoming and congratulating Brother Akim!

Last week, one of our newest Entered Apprentices, Enrique Batista, presented his EA Education Project titled “Key West, Freemasonry, and the Struggle for Cuban Independence.” His presentation offered a thoughtful look into the history of Cuban Freemasons in Key West and their lifelong mission to build an international network dedicated to achieving Cuban statehood. This presentation, part of the Hialeah Masons Education Series is also available to be delivered at lodges in our district, in both English and Spanish contact us if you’d like to host it!
