ST. JOHN'S LODGE
Ancient Free and Accepted Masons
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

ASSOCIATE STEWARD(S)

 OVERVIEW  

            They shall assist the Stewards in their duties under the direction of the Junior Warden or Senior Deacon as needed. The use of Associate Stewards will greatly enhance the smooth functioning of the lodge. Although there is no official office of Associate Steward, it provides a good opportunity for interested brethren to gain experience and training as possible future officers. 

            They should be keen observers of all that goes on in the lodge and should be learning as much as possible. It is wise for any officer to be ahead of his own office. This is an excellent opportunity to get ahead and for a learning year. They should prepare themselves to be able to assume either of the Steward’s duties and degree work at any time. While the duties are relatively simple, they form the foundation for the future duties an officer will assume. Strong adherence to the duties assigned will make their future experiences enjoyable ones.
