Our History continued
"I expect to pass through this World but once. Any good that I can do, or any kindness that I can show, to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again".

The story which follows tells quite plainly the duty of those who are fortunate to be members of the Ormskirk Priory Lodge. Duty is a hard word but, when applied to this Lodge, it becomes a pleasure indeed. May the Brethren derive great joy in the present and in the future in upholding the traditions outlined in this History of their Lodge.
I congratulate the Ormskirk Priory Lodge on attaining the Fiftieth Anniversary of its Consecration and wish the Lodge and its Brethren every happiness and success in the future.

Membership after the second world war up until the mid to late '70's was always between 75 and 90 and lodge meeting regularly had 75 to 100 masons present.
Following a decline in membership in common with most lodges in recent years the lodge now appears to be recovering again and is starting to benefit from a steady flow of new, younger members which can only bode well for the future.
This history will be added to as time permits.
