About Patrick Henry LOL 1105

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”Patrick Henry, March 23 1775.

Patrick Henry Loyal Orange Lodge was founded in Manassas, Virginia in the fall of 2005. Members of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania and the Supreme Grand Lodge of the United States were present to award the charter for this new and historic chapter established in Virginia. The Orange Order came to the United States with immigrating Ulster-Scots to the America’s in the early 1800’s. From there the Grand Lodge of the United States has become a uniquely American Fraternal Society. While it is recognized by the Grand Lodges of Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada and Ghana it is a wholly independent Fraternity dedicated to God and Country, with reverence to the memory of William of Orange, the great protector of religious and civil liberties.

The men of our Order come together to share in fellowship and love for our protestant faith and for our country. We meet every second Thursday in the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Manassas, Virginia. If you have questions about the order please see our membership page or click one of the links below to send an email to one of our brethren.
