Welcome to our website. Our Prince Hall Family Relief Fund was established in 2005 to assist victims that suffered catastrophes from hurricanes, floods, and fires that accrued to them as well as their family members.On behalf of the Family Relief fund, we would like to thank everyone who gave their time and financial support.

Without you this program would not have been as successful as it has been. We are an ongoing program. This fund is what the Masonic Family is all about. We must continue to aid, support and lend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in distress.

On behalf of M.W. Robert L. Oglesby Sr., Grand Master, I would like to thank the M.W.P.G.M.’s, Grand Lodge Cabinet, All Grand Lodge Officers and Members of the M.W.P.H.G.L., and also the wives for traveling to Boston, MA for their Annual Grand Lodge Session.

A special thanks to the committee R.W. Gary Sylvester, R.W., Derrick Hall, and W.B. Harold Motley for making all arrangements for our trip and preparing a wonderful hospitality. We assembled at Stone Square Lodge No. 38, Plainfield, NJ where an awesome breakfast was prepared. Then we were greeted by W.B. Donnell Bailey Sr. who we thank so much for taking time out to transport us to Boston, MA.

It was a very fun filled weekend, I was truly honored and blessed to have forty members from New Jersey travel with us. May our Heavenly Father continue to bless each of you.
