Provincial Church Service
|
The Provincial Church Service will be held on Sunday 12th June 2016, at The Church of St Nicholas and St John, Monkton Priory, Pembroke. The service will commence at 3.00pm and it is the wish of the Provincial Grand Master that as many Brethren and their families support the Province by attending the service. Further details will appear on the Provincial Website nearer the day, but save the date in your diaries! It is very interesting to note that the Rev David Bowen, at one time DPrGM to Lord Kensington found Monkton Church in ruins when he first became the incumbent, and over a period of 50 years saw to the restoration to what we have today. There was considerable involvement by Freemasons in the restoration and the windows in the lady chapel are dedicated to Freemasons.
