The Charter for the St.Paul’s Lodge of Mark Master Masons No.131 English Registry was obtained from the Grand Mark Lodge of England in April 1871 however for reasons that have not been established, the Charter was not used until 17th January 1884 when the Lodge was formally opened for the first Congregation by the R.W.Bro. the Hon.William Badgely, District Grand Master of
Montreal and William Henry.
St.Paul’s Mark Lodge No.131 has since enjoyed a continous existence and celebrated its Centenary meeting on the 17th January 1984. An especial Congregation for Grand Mark Lodge to formally present the Centenary Warrant took place on 25th May 1984, with the Pro Grand Master from England in attendance: M.W.Bro.Dr.Gilmore Leonard Colenso Colenso-Jones, accompanied by the Grand Secretary: R.W.Bro.William Leake, PJGW.
