The Master, Wardens, and Brethren of Saratoga Lodge No. 14 invite all regular Master Masons carrying the usual proof of good-standing to our regular communication. Please use the “Bookings” section below to RSVP. If you have not registered through this website, then you will have to complete that process prior to booking your visitation.
Registration does not automatically permit attendance, but only informs the Master and Wardens of your intent to join the Lodge for the communication.
Registration automatically closes once the communication begins, please RSVP well in advance, and you may cancel at any time. Failure to attend, without 24 hours notice, is considered a late cancellation.
Traveling Party
Brother’s traveling as a group, which we sincerely recommend and prefer, must register individually.
Tyler’s Examination
Upon arriving all brothers unknown to the Master of the Lodge, or any Past Master present shall be subject to inspection by the Lodge Tyler; and, there is no appeal from his report to the Master. It is highly recommended that any visiting Brother who is unsure of the Tyler’s usual requirements to contact his Master or Secretary to be duly prepared to ease his admittance.
Visitor’s Log
Saratoga Lodge No. 14 respects and confirms many of the traditional usages of the Craft while also providing modern implementations. Upon entry into lodge, you will discover a logbook for all visitors to sign, this logbook once filled will be placed in the lodge archives. Next to the Logbook there is also a device which has the pre-populated data from booking section below, which allows you to confirm your visit. This information is then printed into a standardized “Report on Visitation” and subsequently added to the minutes of the meeting. The device can also be used to register last minute visitors.
Additionally, all visiting brothers shall have mailed to their lodge secretary proof of their visit.
Masonic Passports
All brothers seeking a physical entry for their masonic passport, must complete three separate tasks:
- RSVP through “Bookings” and confirm their attendance on the device,
- Enter their visit on the physical visitation log,
- Advise the Tyler of such request and await his response.
This requirement is to ensure that in all eventualities the brother’s record of visit maybe discovered.
Visitation of Foreign Brethren
Regular Brother’s, who suspect that they are entirely unknown to the Lodge, and whom are traveling from a far and who plan visit the communication may find it expedient for his Lodge Secretary to forward his visitation itinerary through his Grand Secretary to the Grand Secretary of Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Wyoming for final disposition by the Lodge at least a month in advance of his intended visit.
