A Message from the Grand Master
Welcome to Our Grand Lodge
It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the digital home of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Delaware. We built this site to keep our brethren informed and to open our doors to the community.
Together, let us reconnect, recommit, and continue building a legacy worthy of those who came before us and inspiring to those who will follow.

Beyond Our Jurisdiction
The work of the Craft does not stop at the Delaware line. Through the year, the brethren of our Jurisdiction travel to stand with brethren of other jurisdictions, to witness their work and to strengthen the bonds between us.
Most recently, brethren led by 32nd Most Worshipful Grand Master Vandrick R. Hamlin Jr. traveled to Baltimore for Crab Feast 2026, hosted by the Grand Lodge of Maryland.
