GRAND MASTER’S 2022-2023 STATEWIDE TRAVELING TILER’S SWORD PROGRAM

 

The Grand Master will have a Statewide Traveling Tiler’s Sword Program. The Tiler’s Sword, location can be tracked using the locator found on the Grand Lodge of Kentucky website and/or the Grand Lodge of Kentucky Statewide Traveling Tiler’s Sword, Location Facebook Page (see Appendix D). It is important that you follow the directions contained in the Tiler’s Sword case to ensure that its location is kept updated, so all lodges have an opportunity to claim it. One or more Masons may claim the Tiler’s Sword at any Masonic meeting. It must be claimed and presented in a tiled or open meeting to count. Make sure to follow the directions and sign the registry contained in the Tiler’s Sword case. The Tiler’s Sword will begin at O.D. Henderson Lodge #437 on Saturday October 22, 2022. Rules for claiming the Sword will be posted on the Location Facebook page and a copy will be included in the Sword Case.

As Masons, we are taught that the Tiler’s sword enables him to effectually guard against the approach of cowans and eavesdroppers, and suffer none to pass but such as are duly qualified, so it should morally serve as a constant admonition to us, to set a guard at the entrance of our thoughts; to place a watch at the door of our lips; to post a sentinel at the avenue of our actions, thereby excluding every unqualified and unworthy thoughts word, and deed; and preserving consciences void of offense toward God and toward man.
