On The Level Podcast

Ever wondered about the inner workings of Masonry? Buckle up for a deep dive into this fascinating world with our guest, Bill Catsulis. As the current State Chairman of the Masonic Leadership Training Program and a Past District Deputy Grandmaster, Bill is uniquely positioned to guide us through the symbolic and practical aspects of Masonic life. We peel back the layers of Masonic rites and rituals, examining everything from the symbolic importance of the common gavel to the practicalities of the trowel. Bill also offers an insider's perspective on the leadership training program and how making it mandatory caused a stir among the officers.
Bill doesn't hold back on sharing his personal journey within Freemasonry, and trust us, it's a story you won't want to miss. From his early days in EA to his almost quitting experience, Bill's road hasn't always been smooth sailing. But it's been a transformative journey, one that has seen him rise to leadership and inspire others along the way. The importance of having mentors, the art of recruitment, and the essence of brotherhood and fellowship in the Masonic fraternity are all touched upon in this candid conversation.
One of the highlights of our chat is the captivating tale of the Washington Memorial Gavel's journey, an artifact of immense symbolic significance in Masonic rites. From its discovery in a Georgetown lodge to its trip to Florida arranged by Bill's friend Glenn Garner, the Gavel's journey mirrors the values of the Masonic brotherhood - unity, honor, and diligence. We also discuss the Masonic trip to DC, the potency of Lodge Renewal, and the essence of Masonic brotherhood. Each story, each anecdote weaves a multi-faceted picture of Masonry, a tapestry of tradition, honor, and camaraderie. Join us on this journey and discover the world of Masonry like never before.
