THE
NAME OF THE LODGE
During
the latter part of his life, Prince Henry, third son of King John of
Portugal, actively encouraged Portuguese maritime expansion and exploration.
The
Founders, in choosing the name "DISCOVERIES" have conjoined with their
Mother Lodge "PRINCE HENRY THE NAVIGATOR" in recognising the great contribution
made by this learned Prince in extending the boundaries of the known
world in those ancient times.
An
analogy can be drawn between those voyages of discovery and Freemasonry.
As
Masons, we strive to discover new boundaries of friendship, discover
ways to strengthen existing ones, discover within ourselves the charitable
nature of man, discover the pleasure of meeting, conversing, debating
and socialising without discord.
This
will be a guiding principle of the Lodge, and it will be enhanced, so
that in coming years, this will truly be known as:
"THE
LODGE OF DISCOVERIES"
