As the 67th Most Worshipful Grand Master, I welcome you to our informaiton hub.  Explore the various events, programs and other postings that display the rich Masonic tradition and our heart for the craft and our community.  You will also find opportunities to partner with us in our efforts to support the communities across the great state of Iowa through the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Iowa Foundation.

Our mission is clear: To strengthen the bonds of fraternity, enhance Masonic knowledge, and ensure the prosperity and sustainability of Prince Hall Freemasonry across Iowa.

As we embark on this Masonic year, our focus will be guided by three key initiatives:

  • Strengthening our Jurisdiction through Education

  • Relationship Building.

These initiatives align with our vision statement:

One PHAmily, One Jurisdiction

moving together as one, working together as one, and loving one another in the bonds of fraternal unity.

Prince Hall Freemasonry is...

a historic institution rooted in the rich tapestry of African American heritage. Established in the late 18th century by Prince Hall, a prominent abolitionist and community leader, this branch of Freemasonry has provided a welcoming space for Black men seeking fellowship, personal growth, and philanthropy. With a legacy steeped in principles of brotherhood, charity, and enlightenment, Prince Hall Freemasonry continues to serve all men, regardless of ethnicity, as a beacon of empowerment and unity within diverse communities across the United States, fostering a tradition of excellence and service that resonates through generations.
