Greetings and Welcome to the Official Website of Bannaker Lodge #3, F&AM PHA On behalf of the Officers and Members of Bannaker Lodge #3, I extend a warm welcome to our official website. We trust that you will find this platform both informative and enriching as you explore our esteemed lodge 's history, values, and activities. The foundation of any great organization lies in the principles upon which it was established. Bannaker Lodge #3 was originally chartered under the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania as Bannaker Lodge #38 A&AM and was proudly named in honor of Benjamin Banneker—an extraordinary scientist, surveyor, and civil engineer whose legacy continues to inspire. We are also honored to be one of the “mother lodges” of Prince Hall Masonry in Georgia, carrying forward a rich tradition of brotherhood, service, and service to our community. Whether you seek information about our lodge or simply wish to learn more about our work, we invite you to use this website as a gateway to connect with us. We encourage you to visit regularly for updates on upcoming events, activities, and opportunities to engage with our Masonic family. Thank you for your visit, and may the Grand Architect of the Universe continue to guide, protect, and
enlighten you on your journey. As we continue to meet, act, and part in harmony, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Masonic principles and each other.

Fraternally Submitted,
Octavius Murray 32°
Worshipful Master, Bannaker Lodge #3 F&AM PHA
