Wesley Lodge #147 A Lodge Determined to Make a Difference, Prince Hall, F & AM The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of Maryland and Its Jurisdiction, Inc. (MWPHGLMD) Search Menu Close Home Our History Our Shop Contact Us MEMBERS ONLY Golf Tournament Donate My Subscriptions © 2035 by The Clinic. Powered and secured by Wix Our  Namesake ​​Dr. Charles H. Wesley (1891–1987) was a renowned historian, educator, author, and civil rights leader whose life’s work centered on preserving Black history and advancing educational excellence. He was also deeply involved in Prince Hall Freemasonry, using scholarship and leadership to elevate the Craft and the broader community. Because of his unwavering commitment to truth, education, and principled leadership, we chose to bear the name Dr. Charles H. Wesley as a constant reminder that Freemasonry is not only about tradition, but about responsibility. His legacy challenges us to think critically, lead with purpose, and leave our community better than we found it. Our  History Our lodge was formed by 15 Masons who were members of a Masonic Study Club on the grounds of Bowie State University. When required to select a name for the lodge, and after a debate, it was suggested that the Club/Lodge be named after a distinguished prominent Black man, and Charles H. Wesley was selected for the Club, and ultimately the Lodge’s name.
