Ernest Borgnine -- An Exemplary Workman in Masonry

            Masonry, in all its forms, calls good men to do great things. Masonic charities, whether they be through the Blue Lodge itself, or through the appendant bodies, actively endeavors to be a benefit to all mankind. Masonic charity is not found just within the Masonic Lodge, nor is it extended to only Masons. It is our love for service that helps define us, and how we serve the Lord while we are here.

            Ernest Borgnine, a famous Hollywood actor of many decades, is a 33° Scottish Rite Mason. He has been active for more than fifty years in the craft, and continues to do so. The one philanthropy that he highly involved in is the Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center at Richmond, Inc., where he serves as the Honorary Chairman.
