Consistory No. 91 of the Prince Hall Free Masons held this year’s Annual Senior Appreciation Luncheon at the George L. Stevens Fourth District Senior Center on Saturday November 22, 2025. In their sharp dress as Free Masons, the members of the Consistory hosted about 100 guests for this very special event which has decades of history here in San Diego.
The term “Consistory” comes from the Latin word meaning Assembly which is representative of the Prince Hall Masons. The group is significant because it represents the oldest African American Masonic organization dating back to 1784. Price Hall himself, was an African American Abolitionist and leader of the free Black community in Boston, Massachusetts. This group continues the proud tradition of free Black Masonry.
The Prince Hall brotherhood this year honored Mrs. Kathy Ramsey, for her many years of service which included military active and reserve duty, service at Balboa Naval Medical Center, membership and service at Christ United Presberystian Church and years of volunteer service at the Fourth District Senior Center. Everyone agreed that this was a recognition long overdue.
