Western Knights Prince Hall 3.42

Western Knights Lodge # 56 was instituted February 14, 1948, constituted June 10, 1948 under Most Worship Grand Master George R. Vaughns. The founder and organizer was Claude Devers. Western Knights is a subordinate Lodge of the most Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of California, Incorporated; located in Los Angeles California.
Our objective is to make good men better based on the tenants of Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love. The fraternity (Prince Hall Masons), founded upon Christian principles established in the Holy Bible, strives to teach a man the duty he owes to GOD, his neighbor, and to himself; but interferes neither with religion nor politics as it prescribes the practice of virtues in the conduct of its business.
The foundation is Character. Its purpose is Service. Its measure is Giving. Its foundation is perpetuated by making "Good Men Better." Its purpose is service, which is rendered to the people of California to improve their social, cultural, and economic conditions. Its measure is giving, an act of unselfish sacrifice for the benefit of others.
