Spring Ceremonial a Roaring Success!

 On Tues May 27th, 2025 EL Jaala Grotto Hosted our Spring Ceremonial. It was an amazing night top to bottom. We were blessed to bring 2 Candidates into our beloved jovial Institution with a fun, light hearted but deeply meaningful ceremony.

Evening started with a special meal arranged by Past Monarch Adam Miranda. He set up a festive board of Gyro’s & Broasted Chicken with Traditional sides from Mr Zees. What a great meal!

We then Jumped into the 4 Scene Ceremonial. With many people doing their roles for the 1st time......boy was it awesome! Past Monarch Tommy did an amazing job on playing his Majesty. It seemed like the Candidates had a great time.

We had 2 Visitors from CHI-ILL Grotto. We were also graced by the presence of our Illinois State Grotto Association President Vance Martin from Illini Grotto. He gave some kind remarks.

Wesley Ruder the head producer and Host of The At Refreshment Masonic Video Podcast also presented Monarch Guy with a special T Shirt from the Podcast.

It was a great evening!
