Welcome to Oxoboxo #116
 

alt     As Connecticut Freemasons we embrace the tenets of Friendship, Morality and Brotherly Love. We do this by using the teachings of Freemasonry to better ourselves, our community and each other. At our lodge we make Masons and here at our website we show you our history, activities and schedule of future events.
    The Masonic Fraternity does not invite anyone to become a member, instead we wait patiently for the special man to knock on our door (We know that men of interest and motivation will find their own path to our door) and seek admittance. Perhaps your visit here is that "knock" on our outer door.
    Feel free to browse our site; investigate us and Freemasonry! See for yourself what we are doing here. We hope this site interests you into becoming a better man and joining the most ancient, greatest and largest Fraternity in the world.
    Connecticut Freemasons, making a difference, here locally and around the world.


    We at Oxoboxo Lodge #116 welcome all who visit our web site.  Our Lodge is located in the Palmer Memorial School, 238 Maple Ave., Montville, CT. at the head of a flight of  winding stairs.
    Please be advised that the Town of Montville has completed the renovations of the Palmer Academy and we are back in our lodge.  We have resumed our regular meeting schedule which is the 1st and 3rd Monday's of the month at 7:30 P.M..  
    We warmly greet all visitors to our beautiful, historic Masonic Lodge.  Interested members of the general public who would like to tour Oxoboxo Lodge and learn more about our ancient world wide fraternity should make contact via our Grand Lodge web site.  You may also be interested in the brief history of our lodge which is part of this web site  
    2010 holds great promise for Oxoboxo as we have planned many interesting endeavors.  We look forward to serving our membership and the Montville community which we have been a part of for 135 years.  We urge all of our members to visit and communicate with us in order to maintain those warm fraternal bonds which are the true strength of our wonderful craft.

   We at Oxoboxo Lodge #116 welcome all who visit our web site.  Our Lodge is located in the Palmer Memorial School, 238 Maple Ave., Montville, CT. at the head of a flight of winding stairs.  We warmly greet all visitors to our beautiful, historic Masonic Lodge.  Interested members of the general public who would like to tour Oxoboxo Lodge and learn more aboout our ancient worldwide fraternity should feel free to contact us at Oxoboxo Lodge #116, 116 School St., Taftville, CT 06380.  You may also be interested in the brief history of our Lodge which is a part of this web site.

   Oxoboxo has experienced avery active year during 2009.  We ran two Child Identification Programs for the children and parents of theTown Of Montville, assisted the Montville Dept of Recreation with our annual Easter Egg Hunt, conducted a very sucessful food drive for the Montville Food Bank and most recently initiated participation in the Montville "Secret Santa Program" for the benefit of a needy family.  We  also initiated a fall "Yard Clean-UP Program" for Masonic Widows.  Additionally, we have accomplished this while conducting a very active schedule of routine lodge business.

   Each of these endeavors  requires the time and energy of volunteers.  All are enjoyable events and serve to promote the goals we have laid out for ourselves.  Please join us.

 Over the past two years there has been a large increase in lodge membership and initiation activities have placed us into a position where we had become inovative in the planning of initiations and ceremonies.  We welcome all those who have joined our Lodge and Masonry during that period.

   As far as I can see, 2010 will start as 2009 ended, very busy!  We have many new applications to process and initiations to conduct.  There will be little time for business meetings but we will find the time somehow.

    It is very encourging to see that new Brothers who have joined our ranks are taking a very active interest in Lodge activities and are adding new life and spirit to Oxoboxo.  We are growing at an unexpected rate and are enjoying our time together.  I thank all who have contributed so much time and effort over the past year. 

  We look forward to serving our membership and the Montville community which we have been a part of for the past 135 years.  We urge all of our members to visit and communicate with us frequently in order to maintain those warm fraternal bonds which are the true strength of our wonderful craft.
