- **Event Name**: Stated Meeting - The Candle Light Charge – A Culmination Presentation by Worshipful Guy R. Martineau
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Brethren,

You are cordially invited to witness a most profound and solemn Masonic experience: The Candle Light Charge.  Worshipful Guy R. Martineau, PM, 32°, PGS (NH), will be delivering this culmination presentation.

Delivered as a supplemental and honorary charge and written in 1942 by Most Worshipful Benjamin L. Hadley (PGM, Maine), this oration serves as a spiritual capstone for all who have traveled the square.

A Journey Through Light and Shadow The presentation is marked by a deep and commanding solemnity. Throughout the delivery, the lights of the Lodge will be extinguished in phases, drawing our focus away from the material world and toward the spiritual Light of the Altar. This presentation beautifully encapsulates the entire journey of a Freemason, weaving together the lessons of all three degrees into one moving, candle-lit moment.

A Special Invitation for New Master Masons If your Lodge has any recently raised Master Masons, we strongly encourage you to bring them along. Please inform us in advance if they will be attending, as we would like to include them in the ceremony. Witnessing this charge shortly after receiving their degrees will undoubtedly make a profound impact on their Masonic journey.

For those who have never witnessed this presentation, it is a rare opportunity to see the lessons of our Craft distilled with such reverence. We look forward to seeing you there.
