Major Projects

We have an assortment of programs that allow our members to participate in the work of the Society.

Council of Representatives

Representatives are the ambassadors, recruiters, and defenders of the Society. We are seeking Phylaxis Society members to serve as representatives of the society in each region and state of the United States.  Contact the council.

Council of Chapters

Active members of the society can congregate in Phylaxis chapters to further the goals of the society. Where there is no existing chapter, seven or more members can request authorization to form a Phylaxis chapter. Contact the council.

Commision on Bogus Masonic Practices

This commission is actively educating our members as well as members of bogus groups claiming to be masonic about the truth of their organization. Contact the commission.

Masonic Sites (PHA)

The only way to document historical sites of interest to Prince Hall masons in the future is to document sites of interest to Prince Hall Masons in the present. If you have a GPS device, help us by capturing the latitude and longitude for your lodge buildings, grand lodge buildings, grave sites of significant masons, and other monuments. Send a photo and descriptive data to us at Masonic Sites.
