St John & St Paul Council
The Council was founded in Malta on 16th April1880 by the prominent mason Alexander Meyrick Broadley (1847-1916), who was District Grand Master of the Order in the Mediterranean. Due to various circumstances, including the disruption caused by the Anglo-Egyptian war of 1882, the Council ceased to be viable and was finally declared dormant by Grand Council in the early years of the 20th century.
On Thursday 3rd October 2024, fifteen Petitioners from Greece, England, and Malta and five visitors participated in the Reconstitution, Reponement, and Rededication of St. John and St. Paul Council No. 3 by the Grand Master, MW Bro Thomas F Jackson. This was only the second time in the history of the Order that a “Dormant” council was reponed.
The Council is now looking forward to a bright new future in its original home in Malta.
