Our History
Lodge Chartered
Grand Master John G. Lewis Jr. appointed Lafayette Robinson as the first Worshipful Master of Alsen Pride on February 2, 1946 — established as a beacon in Alsen, Louisiana, serving East Baton Rouge Parish.
Charter Dormant
The charter was defunct under Grand Master John G. Lewis Jr.. Institutional knowledge and the charter were preserved by the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Louisiana.
Reorganization
Grand Master Ralph Slaughter reorganized Alsen Pride Lodge No. 253 with the assistance of Twilight Lodge No. 166 — nine transferring brothers renewing a commitment to growth and visible service.
Modern Growth
Membership expansion among young professionals, the launch of Project Silk & Silhouette, and strong community partnerships across Baton Rouge.
The Three Pillars
Alsen Pride Lodge No. 253 is a Prince Hall Masonic organization founded in 1946. We build character through mentorship, empower youth through direct service, and transform our community through three core principles.
Brotherly Love
We regard the whole human species as one family. We aid, support, and protect each other — direct support for our brothers, mentorship for life's challenges, and visible solidarity in our community.
Relief
To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all Freemasons. We live this through Project Silk & Silhouette, community service days, and direct support to families in need — relief is measurable impact.
Truth
Truth is the foundation of every virtue. In our lodge, this means transparency in operations, honesty in communications, and integrity in all dealings with our members and community.
