Where can I attend an English-speaking Masonic meeting in Panama City?
Conveniently located at the crossroads of the Americas, Ancon Lodge is the epicenter of English-language Freemasonry in Panama. Whether you are a traveling brother looking for a home away from home, an expat relocating to the area, or a local resident seeking to begin your Masonic journey in English, Ancon Lodge offers a warm, vibrant, and deeply traditional fraternal experience.
Why Ancon Lodge is Your Best Destination in Panama City
While Panama boasts a rich and storied Masonic history, the vast majority of local lodges conduct their business and ritual entirely in Spanish. Ancon Lodge stands out as a unique and welcoming beacon for English speakers.
Familiar Ritual, Historic Roots: Originally founded in 1912 under the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts during the building of the Panama Canal, Ancon Lodge maintains 114 years of tradition and high standards of English-language degree work.
A Diverse International Fellowship: Our membership is a vibrant melting pot of global professionals, military veterans, expats from North America, Europe, Latin America, and local Panamanians.
Full Recognition: Because we operate under the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, we enjoy mutual recognition with most regular United States jurisdictions and Grand Lodges worldwide, including the Grand Lodge of Panama.
How to Attend or Join Us
Ancon Lodge is always eager to welcome good men into our ranks and visiting brothers to our meetings.
For Visiting Brothers: If you are a Master Mason in good standing with a recognized Grand Lodge, you are welcome to visit us! We simply ask that you coordinate with your home Grand Lodge Secretary for a traveling certificate and contact us in advance, if possible.
For Prospective Members: If you live in Panama and have always wanted to become a Freemason, but prefer to learn, grow, and experience the degrees in English, Ancon Lodge is exactly what you are looking for.
