Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, September 27, 2019 John J. Cole installed as Worshipful Master at Sutton Lodge S AUGUS – September 21, 2019 – Following a centuries-old ceremony, last year’s officers of William Sutton Lodge were retired and the officers for the coming year were installed on Saturday, September 21. John J. Cole of Everett, Mass., was installed as the Worshipful Master, or presiding officer. Masons use “Worshipful” in its English form as a term of honor given to those worthy of respect; English mayors and judges are referred to as “Worshipful.” He will serve in that position for the next 12 months. Todd O. Galarneau of Saugus is the new Senior Warden, and Stephen E. Bruce of Everett is the Junior Warden, the secondand third-ranked officers in the lodge. Brian E. Gregory of Wakefield was installed as Treasurer for the 2019-2020 year, and Thomas A. Lima, Jr. of Saugus, Past District Deputy Grand Master, was installed as Secretary. To provide continuity and stability in the Lodge, the Treasurer and Secretary often serve multiple one-year terms. The officers were elected during the Lodge’s regular meeting in June. The remaining offices, or “chairs,” of the Lodge were filled by the following: Kevin M. Wildman, Chaplain; Ralph E. Gibbs, Marshal; Richard E. Miller, Senior Deacon; Corey J. Phelps, Junior Deacon; Eduardo J. Sagarnaga, Senior Steward; John P. Montanus, Organist; James V. Virnelli, Sr., Tyler; and William J. Roberts, Electrician. William J. Boulay of Winthrop, Past Master of Palestine Lodge, Everett, which recently merged with William Sutton Lodge, and Alan R. Welch of Saugus, Past Master of William Sutton Lodge, performed the Installation. They were assisted by Amos F. Cutter, Jr., Past District Deputy Grand Master, who served as Chaplain for the ceremony, and Gregory A. Beamon, Past Grand Pursuivant, who served as Marshal. A member of the Scottish Rite and an active Shriner, John Cole joined Palestine Lodge in 2005 and served as its secretary for several years. In 2016, he was invited to serve in that capacity for William Sutton Lodge as well. In addition, he is presently serving for the second time as District Deputy Grand Secretary for the Fourth Masonic District. He is a past president of Everett Little League. He and his wife, Denise, have lived in Everett since 1982 and have just recently become first-time grandparents. William Sutton Lodge, which was established in 1867, meets on the third Thursday of each month, except July and August, in the First Congregational Church building (300 Central St. in Saugus).
