Established 1815
Pennsylvania has been a major hub for Prince Hall Masonry, particularly through the Philadelphia area, contributing significantly to the growth and influence of the organization.
The Pennsylvania Grand Lodge emerged during the period of rapid expansion in the early 19th century. Philadelphia became a significant center for Prince Hall Masonic activity, with strong lodges and engaged leadership. Pennsylvania's jurisdiction played a vital role in connecting northeastern Prince Hall lodges and establishing consistent standards.
The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania 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.
