We are thrilled to present to you this edition of The Blue Glow from Sugar Land Lodge No. 1141!
Oscar Ochoa
As we come to the close of another Masonic year, I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to each of you for your dedication, support, and commitment to our Lodge.
Over the past year, we have shared in fellowship, celebrated achievements, welcomed new Brothers, and faced challenges together. Through it all, the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth have remained the foundation upon which we have continued to build. The success of our Lodge is not the work of any one individual, but the result of many hands and hearts working together in harmony.
I would especially like to thank our officers, committee members, and every Brother who gave of his time and talents throughout the year. Whether your contributions were visible to all or made quietly behind the scenes, they have helped strengthen our Lodge and enrich the experience of our membership.
As this Masonic year concludes, let us reflect with pride on what we have accomplished together and look forward with optimism to the opportunities that lie ahead. May we continue to support one another, grow in our understanding of the Craft, and carry the lessons of Masonry into our daily lives.
Thank you for your friendship, your service, and your unwavering commitment to our fraternity. It has been an honor to labor alongside each of you.
“How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” — Psalm 133:1

Brethren,
As we prepare to close out the books on another fantastic Masonic Year, I want to thank everyone for helping our Lodge run like a finely tuned machine. It has been a busy, productive year of labor, and the record shows we have plenty to be proud of.
A major highlight of our final quarter was the Community Awards Night on May 13, 2026. It was an incredible success, bringing together local leaders, educators, and families to honor those who make Sugar Land shine. For those who couldn't make it, or anyone wanting to relive the evening, the event was recorded. The full video is now available to view on our YouTube channel and is linked below.
Now, we look ahead to the new Masonic Year. A new line of officers will soon step up to guide the Lodge, bringing fresh energy and a brand-new trestleboard of activities.
As a last reminder this Masonic Year, if you have any charitable activities you would like to count for our records (helps with Form 71 and property tax exemptions), please enter them below in the Google form.
Keep an eye out for upcoming notices regarding our annual installation to be held in July 2026, and let’s carry this momentum right into the next year. We look forward to seeing you at Lodge soon!
