                                                      The Formation of the District

District Grand Lodge Of Syria-Lebanon, was chartered on June 23, 1955 and consecrated on August 22, 1955 by Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New York M∴ W∴ Charles W. Frossel, who flew to Lebanon for that purpose.

The thirteen Lodges are scattered all over Lebanon and the members come from all backgrounds, religions and walks of life. The absolute belief in God, love of country and the principles of Freemasonry, unite them under one common goal, which is to build a better society, for a better Lebanon.
