M.W. Timothy S. McGavin

On December 29th, 2025, Timothy Sean McGavin was installed as the 92nd Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts. He will preside over more than 200 lodges and 20,000 members throughout the Commonwealth, Panama, Chile, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, and Tokyo, Japan for the next three years.

The Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts was chartered in 1733, following the establishment of the Grand Lodges of England in 1717 and Ireland in 1725.

Due to this precedent, the Grand Master of Massachusetts is referred to as the third “ranking” Mason in the world. 2026 marks the 293rd anniversary of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. A Grand Lodge is the governing body of Freemasonry in its jurisdiction.
