Established 1875
Louisiana became an important southern jurisdiction following the Civil War, with New Orleans as a center for Prince Hall Masonry development and community leadership.
Louisiana's Grand Lodge emerged during Reconstruction, bringing Prince Hall Masonry to the Deep South. New Orleans became a significant center for Prince Hall activity, with lodges serving African American communities and supporting education and charitable work.
The Grand Lodge of Louisiana operates as part of the greater Prince Hall Masonic structure, maintaining connections with Grand Lodges across the United States and internationally. As a Prince Hall jurisdiction, it upholds the principles established by Prince Hall and his successors.
Like all Prince Hall Grand Lodges, this jurisdiction is committed to community service, charitable work, education, and supporting the intellectual and moral development of its members and the communities they serve.
