Caer Urfa Lodge pride’s Itself on being one of South Shields, Principal Seafaring lodges, It has now become an exciting and vibrant lodge to visit or join, providing a high standard of masonic ritual and providing significant support to any members wishing to advance their masonic knowledge by taking up office within the Lodge.
The members of our Lodge put in many hours of hard work to make sure our ritual is exemplary and the hand of friendship is always extended, this is evident at our Meetings, where we offer a warm and friendly welcome to all our visitors, which is evident in our plentiful repeat visiting Brethren.
Whilst Seafaring and Fraternity is a major part of our ‘Lodge Identity’ it comes with the balance of reassuring our members that the commitments of family and work will often be understandably prioritised over masonic duty. We have a history of supporting our members and their families through the most challenging of times and continue to remember the widows of members who have passed to the Grand Lodge Above each Christmas through the sending of a card and gift.
