J.F. Swartsel Lodge No. 251

What a wonderful evening at J.F. Swartsel Lodge as the Brothers proudly conferred the Entered Apprentice Degree upon our newest Brother.

It is always a joy to welcome a new Brother into our fraternity and to share in the beginning of his Masonic journey. We congratulate him on taking this important first step and look forward to supporting and encouraging him as he continues his path in Masonry.

Please join us in welcoming our newest Brother and wishing him every success in the years ahead.

We will certainly miss gathering with our regular Fish Fry family this month. Your friendship and support mean a great deal to us.

We look forward to seeing everyone again in July, when we'll be proud to unveil our newly renovated kitchen and serve the quality meal you've come to expect.

As always, proceeds from our Fish Fry help support those in need within our community.

Thank you for your patience during this brief interruption.

A great turnout at our stated meeting. Thanks to all the Brothers for coming out and supporting the Lodge. We had a great meal by our Junior Warden and his team. We covered a lot of ground in the meeting and approved replacing the floor in the main dining room. This combined with the kitchen renovation, the downstairs will almost be a new lodge. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like and seeing more of the Brothers in attendance!

Getting ready for the big renovation of the kitchen! Thank you to the Brothers and Sisters who came out to get the cabinets emptied. We’ve taken the first step in the long needed trip. Here is the a fast and safe renovation.

A new year for District 19 is here, and we are proud to welcome R:. W:. Jody Meguiar as our D.D.G.M.

If enthusiasm, commitment, and hard work are any indication, this is going to be one outstanding year for our District.

Looking forward to seeing what we accomplish together!

We admit it… we may be a little biased.

But we believe there is no finer District Instructor in all of Florida in 2026 than our very own R∴H∴ Jeff Sklett.

Jeff’s dedication to the Craft, commitment to Masonic education, and steady leadership continue to strengthen both our District and our Lodge.

We are proud to call him a Brother of J.F. Swartsel Lodge No. 251.

Congratulations, R∴H∴ Jeff. Your Lodge stands proudly behind you.

We are proud to present the two recipients of our 2026 Academic Scholarships at Land O' Lakes High School.

These scholarships are made possible through the continued support of our community and everyone who joins us at our monthly Fish Fry. Your support helps us invest in the future of local students and recognize hard work, dedication, and academic achievement.

On behalf of the Brothers of J.F. Swartsel Lodge, congratulations to these outstanding young ladies, and best wishes for continued success in all that lies ahead.
