OUR GOAL.
In their pursuit of greater enlightenment, the brethren of Fort Worth Lodge #148 initiated a tradition of inviting guest speakers for Masonic educational talks. These sessions have enriched our membership, fostering growth and knowledge. Recognizing the profound benefits of this program, we felt compelled to extend this experience to other brothers eager for Masonic education.
​
Masonic education is a vital part of every brother's journey in the Craft, yet it can be challenging to access. Our fraternity is filled with extraordinary speakers eager to share their research, and we believe it is our duty to disseminate the results of our educational program. This led to the creation of a Masonic educational event designed to benefit the Craft on a larger scale, held at the Fort Worth Masonic Temple.
​
That event: Texas MasoniCon.
​
Texas MasoniCon is a self-sustaining annual event. Ticket sales cover lunch for attendees and lodging and transportation for guest speakers. All profits are reinvested into the next year’s event, ensuring continuous growth and improvement. Our long-term goal is to enhance the Grand Jurisdiction of Texas by inspiring attending brethren to bring more Masonic education back to their lodges and districts, and to provide a platform for new educational speakers to present their work.
​
Tickets for Texas MasoniCon 2024 are now available. The event will take place on the evening of Friday, August 2nd, and all day Saturday, August 3rd, with check-in starting at 8:00 am. Each attendee will receive a pass allowing entry and re-entry throughout the day.
​
Based on feedback from last year's attendees, we have extended session times from 45 minutes to a full hour and moved the start time to 9:00 am. In addition to our speakers, vendors will be on-site offering Masonic books and merchandise. Some guest speakers may also have their books available for purchase.
​
Due to the nature of the subjects covered and to facilitate open discussion, this event is open only to Master Masons from Jurisdictions recognized by the Grand Lodge of Texas. At MasoniCon 2018, we welcomed attendees from across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and even as far as Nebraska, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and Baja California in Mexico. MasoniCon 2019 saw even greater attendance and featured Bro. S. Brent Morris as our keynote speaker. After a small pause in 2020 and 2021, we picked up once again. Texas MasoniCon is our 5th annual event, and we are proud that each year has been a success.
​
Our vision remains steadfast: to immerse brethren in Masonic education and ignite a contagious fervor and zeal within the Craft. We hope that you will join us and share our vision.
