Grotto Degree Team

The Grotto Degree Team led by our Past Monarch Bill Bussiere were able to help our friends at Oak Forest Lodge Mon  May 15th, 2023 to put on a 3rd Degree. We were so overjoyed to be invited and lend a helping hand round out a slate. It was our pleasure to give two Worthy & Well Qualified Fellowcrafts an amazing experience. All in all 8 members of the Grotto Degree team came out and took on multiple roles to help. Our Degree team much like the various Hospitality events we host only exist to enrich Masonry and show our love to the Blue Lodge.

2017 Supreme Council Session

On June 21st to the 24th the Supreme Grotto Session was help in Perrysburg Ohio.  El Jaala was well represented by Past Monarchs Manny Roth & Ivan Lugo along with Prophet Mark Victoria.   Attention Prophets & all join us as we reflect & celebrate on El Jaala Grottoes hard work in supporting the Humanitarian Foundation Dental Program. #6 out of 58 Grottoes not bad for a Grotto that meets out of a red bag. El Jaala Grotto would not have been successful without the support we received from our various lodges, other appendant bodies, & all that contributed to this worthy charity, especially our very own Prophets & Daughters of Mokanna.
