Once again is time to have fellowship and fun all in the name of celebrating Masonry and the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford.
Since the early years of The Home, St. John’s Day has been celebrated on the campus of The Masonic Home for Children at Oxford. The day has been highlighted in many ways with a variety of activities. Many remember the parade and musical entertainment of the past 20-plus years, while older citizens in the community may remember earlier years as a day of commemoration and picnics. The focus this year will be to showcase The Home and its history while expressing appreciation to the loyal supporters.
The Home will host a traditional St. John’s Day celebration and open house on campus Saturday, June 27, 2009. The parade and musical entertainment will not be scheduled. While activities will be occurring from 8:30am until 2:00pm, the main features of the day will be a St. John’s Day commemorative service in the York Rite Chapel starting at 10:00am. Following the service guests will have the opportunity to visit some of the homes and tours of the campus will be conducted by some of the residents and staff. The Archives and Museum will be open for those who wish to view some of the history of The Home. Games and entertainment for the children will be available.
