GRAND MASTER VISITS TO THE CANAL ZONE AND PANAMA

In 1912, the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts granted a charter to Sojourners Lodge of Cristobal, and thereby inaugurated its jurisdiction within the Panama Canal Zone. At that time there was no Grand Lodge holding jurisdiction in Panama; its Grand Lodge would only be instituted in 1917, at which time a treaty was erected between the two Grand Jurisdictions enabling them to operate concurrently.

Between 1912 and the present, a number of Grand Masters have paid official visits to the Canal Zone and Panama Districts. This page summarizes and illustrates those visits.

Lodge visits are noted with a star (★) and the date of the visit.
