St. Patrick’s Lodge was founded in 1766 as St. Patrick’s Lodge #8, later #4 after the formation of the United States, and is one of the oldest Masonic Lodges in the State of New York. Since its inception, St. Patrick’s has been the center of a “social neighborhood” as envisioned by the founder and first Master of the Lodge, Sir William Johnson, who also founded our city, Johnstown, New York.
After more than two centuries, St. Patrick’s continues to take good men and help them along a path of self-discovery that forms them into even better members of our community. Using the guiding precepts of “Faith, Hope and Charity”, the brothers of St. Patrick’s Lodge strive to improve themselves and the lives of their fellow citizens in this social neighborhood by staying true to their faith, continuing to see the greater good in all people and working to relieve the strife of those among us who are the most in need of assistance.
We are proud of our Masonic Craft, our Lodge, our Community and its citizens and we hope you can stop by and visit the “Grand Lady”, built in 1924 and still standing strong as a pillar of hope and optimism in our community.
