Appendant Masonic Bodies in Saint Lucia
No Scottish Rite body is independently established in Saint Lucia. Higher degree work for English Constitution members connects through the DGLBEC framework to the bodies in Barbados, where the principal appendant body center for the Eastern Caribbean is located.
Royal Arch Masonry in Saint Lucia is administered through the District Grand Chapter of Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean for English Constitution members. Chapter connections are maintained through the Barbados district structure, with visiting convocations organized across the island group.
PHA Caribbean GL members in Saint Lucia access higher degrees through the PHA Caribbean Grand Lodge network. Mount Hermon Lodge No. 9 in Saint Lucia is part of a wider multi-island jurisdiction that coordinates appendant body activity across the Caribbean.
No Shrine Temple is established in Saint Lucia. Allied bodies have a presence through both the DGLBEC and PHA Caribbean frameworks, and Saint Lucia's lodge community participates in the regular inter-island calendar of Masonic events — installation ceremonies, district and grand lodge communications, and charitable activities — that connect the Eastern Caribbean island communities throughout the year.
Saint Lucia's place in Caribbean Masonic history as the origin point of Lodge United Brothers No. 251 SC (which relocated to Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1795 and became the foundation of Scottish Freemasonry in Trinidad) gives the island a historical significance in the wider Caribbean Masonic story beyond its small current community.
