Since its inception, St. Patrick&#8217;s has been the center of a &#8220;social neighborhood&#8221; as envisioned by the founder and first Master of the Lodge, Sir William Johnson, who also founded our city, Johnstown, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After more than two centuries, St. Patrick&#8217;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 &#8220;Faith, Hope and Charity&#8221;, the brothers of St. Patrick&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are proud of our Masonic Craft, our Lodge, our Community and its citizens and we hope you can stop by and visit the &#8220;Grand Lady&#8221;, built in 1924 and still standing strong as a pillar of hope and optimism in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"885\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/stpats4.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_0967-885x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/IMG_0967-885x1024.jpg 885w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/IMG_0967-259x300.jpg 259w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/IMG_0967-768x889.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/IMG_0967.jpg 1146w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Commemoration plaque of 1924<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Current Officers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the officers and brothers of St. Patrick&#8217;s #4 for the 2026 &#8211; 2027 Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aa99f341f92a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aa99f341f92a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1313\" style=\"width:870px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fulmontmasons.org\/stpats4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/Installation-2026-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Front Row:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bro.
