Celestial Lodge A.F. & A.M.

Celestial Lodge has been representing Freemasonry in the Dedham/Westwood area since the early 19th century, and has a long tradition of service to the community. Members actively participate in programs designed to promote the well-being of our fellow man. Celestial sponsors five community blood drives every year in conjunction with the American Red Cross. These drives are held at the Lodge building and annually collect more than 200 units of blood.

The Celestial Masonic Angel Fund is one of the primary resources for local schools, youth, and family services to assist children in need. The Fund provides grants for medical expenses, clothing, school lunches, enrichment programs, and a variety of other services for local children. It administers the "Laptops For Kidz" program, which provides refurbished laptops to local children at no-cost, ensuring that students have access to this essential educational tool.

Celestial Lodge also supports local Boy Scout troops and annually awards the Donald H. MacLellan Masonic Scout Award to a scout in both Dedham and Westwood. This award includes a scholarship stipend. Celestial also awards two other scholarships annually to high school graduates.

There is ample opportunity to discover "the greatness in you" at Celestial Lodge. We have not lost sight, however, of the fact that we are only a small part of the worldwide fraternity that has rewarded that greatness for hundreds of years. The bonds which draw men together generation after generation are very much a part of the Celestial Lodge experience. The opportunity to meet and share the journey with those who you will come to regard as "brothers" is a gift to be cherished.
