Brethren,
As you may know we have marked the passing of our brother Paul Edward Rana, 32° who has laid down his working tools on February 6, 2023. His loss has affected many friends and brothers in the Masonic community here in Central Texas and globally. Brother Rana was our Director of Work and the Venerable Master of the Collegium Ecossaise for the Austin Scottish Rite Valley. The tireless efforts and endless passion that he displayed for the craft and its underlying philosophy have inspired many.
On Monday, February 20 at 5:30 p.m. there will be a Masonic memorial service at the Austin Scottish Rite Temple to celebrate the life and memory of Brother Rana. It will be open to all Masons and the public. Please dress appropriately for this solemn and respectful occasion. If you are in possession of a white leather apron, please bring it. Otherwise regular cloth aprons will be provided.
Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm, all visitors are invited to join.
The official graveside service will be held on March 11 at 2:00pm at:
Precious Blood of Christ Catholic Church, Pawleys Island, South Carolina
Please RSVP: Mr. Ed Rana – (480) 363-1690 – edrana2@gmail.com
