Under the leadership of our Most Worshipful Grand Master, Most Worshipful Harry McDowell and through the generosity of the members of the Prince Hall Masonic Family, we proudly announce the formation of the "Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of NJ Family Relief Fund"

Days after many of us left New Orleans, a catastrophic disaster strikes. The devastation from Hurricane Katrina is one of the worst in recent history. Many of our Sisters, Brothers, Families and Friends have suffered a great loss, and are in dire need of assistance. The Prince Hall Family of NJ has answered the call. We have set up a "Relief Fund" that is designed to assist the victims in the "Gulf Area", as well as manage the future needs of our New Jersey Prince Hall Family.

This fund is intended to be a way of life, no just a reaction to a current disaster. The Relief Fund Committee has representation form every Masonic House. These representatives will establish polices and by-laws for the operation of the fund. please look for additional information from your representative. Updates and committee members are also available on our website, www.mwphglnj.org/phrhome.htm

We are proud of the fact that we are the first Prince Hall Family to establish a fund. Our success is wholly dependent on the generosity of our membership. Won't you join us in our "Giving Hope"

Over $17,000.00 has been donated thus far. The goal is $50,000.00 for this Masonic year.
