Faith in Action: Macedonia Council No. 60 Honors St. John’s Day Through Worship and Service

Carthage, North Carolina – Members of Macedonia Council and Parent Club No. 60, Knights of Pythagoras, proudly joined Brothers and Sisters from across District 23 of the Piedmont Region in celebrating St. John’s Day, one of the oldest and most meaningful traditions in Prince Hall Freemasonry.

Observed on the Sunday nearest June 24, Devotional Day commemorates St. John the Baptist and serves as a time for Masons to gather in worship, reflect on their faith, and reaffirm their commitment to God, moral character, and service to humanity. While each Knight follows the teachings of his own faith tradition, the observance reminds us that we unite around the principles symbolized by; faith, integrity, and brotherly love.


For the Knights of Pythagoras, Devotional Day is an obligatory observance, calling upon each Council to attend a local church service as a group and actively participate in worship. This tradition reinforces the organization’s commitment to developing young men of strong character, faith, and leadership.


During the service, what stood out most was the remarkable involvement of the young men in attendance. Rather than simply observing, they actively participated by assisting with the collection and supporting the service, demonstrating the values of responsibility, service, and respect that the Knights of Pythagoras seeks to instill.


Macedonia Council No. 60 is to be commended for its faithful participation and continued dedication to mentoring young men through faith, fellowship, and community service. Their presence at this year’s St. John’s Day celebration reflects the enduring mission of the Knights of Pythagoras and the importance of preparing the next generation of leaders through meaningful experiences and active engagement.
