Centennial memory #69: DeMolay Hodegos Recipients

To celebrate the DeMolay Centennial, PA DeMolay will be counting down 100 memories worth celebrating that took place within the DeMolay Chapters and Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania.

The Hodegos Award is a unique award that is given out by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania through the Pennsylvania Masonic Youth Foundation. The award recognizes no more than two adult leaders per year for each of the three Masonic Youth Groups in Pennsylvania; DeMolay, Rainbow, and Job's Daughters. Letters of recommendation are accompanied with an application and submitted to the Masonic Youth Foundation Office. A committee votes and determines who has earned the award for the year.


Many well deserving adult leaders have earned the Hodegos Award since it was founded in 2005. Here is a list of all of the DeMolay recipients:
