Celebrating 40 Years of Elio Estrada Lodge No. 1985

A commission from our lodge had the honor of visiting our brothers from Elio Estrada Lodge No. 1985, belonging to District 14, who were proudly celebrating their 40th anniversary of foundation.

We gladly responded to their kind invitation, and as true brothers, we shared with them a special night full of joy, memories, and fraternal spirit. It was a moment to greet one another, grow closer, and strengthen the bonds that unite us as members of this great Odd Fellow family.


From our lodge, we wish them continued success as they move forward on the path of Friendship, Love, and Truth, and we sincerely thank them for their warm welcome and the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful celebration.

Thank you for a wonderful evening and for allowing us to be part of your history!

Today, on Father’s Day, our fraternity shines once again. On this special day, we went out with hearts full of love and commitment to visit our brothers, fulfilling one of the noblest duties of our institution: to accompany and support those who are going through illness or difficult times.

With great fraternity, respect, and affection, we share this gesture that honors not only the role of fathers but also the values that unite us as brothers.


Because in every visit, in every word, and in every embrace, we continue to show that true fraternity knows no boundaries or excuses. These simple moments of connection remind us that no brother is ever alone when he wears the three links close to his heart.


This Father’s Day, we didn’t just offer words—we brought presence, warmth, and solidarity. Whether through a handshake, a shared story, or a quiet moment together, we reminded our brothers that the strength of our Order is measured not in ritual alone, but in action and compassion.

To be an Odd Fellow is to lead with love, to serve with humility, and to lift each other up—especially when it matters most. As we honor all fathers today, we also reaffirm our duty to each other, ensuring that the light of Friendship, Love, and Truth continues to shine in every corner of our lives.
