Rhode Island became an early stronghold for Prince Hall Masonry in New England, with strong traditions and consistent organizational development.
Rhode Island's Grand Lodge formed during the early expansion of Prince Hall Masonry throughout New England. The jurisdiction maintained close relationships with Massachusetts and other northeastern Grand Lodges while developing its own strong Masonic culture and community presence.
The Grand Lodge of Rhode Island 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.
