Red Cross of Constantine Gather at St Margaret’s Church

The congregation was warmly welcomed by the Heads of Orders, including Tim Barrett, Intendent-General of the Red Cross of Constantine, who expressed his delight at seeing such a strong turnout for this important occasion in the calendar of the Red Cross of Constantine. Members of the Order were joined by family, friends, and supporters, creating an atmosphere that reflected both Christian fellowship and the close bonds shared within the Masonic community.

The service was led by The Reverend Anthony W. Avery, whose thoughtful words and gentle guidance set a tone of unity, reflection, and purpose. His address encouraged those present to consider the values of faith, duty, and steadfastness, principles deeply rooted in the traditions of the Red Cross of Constantine and central to its Christian foundation.

Well‑known hymns filled St Margaret’s Church, bringing voices together in familiar harmony. The music added a joyful and contemplative dimension to the afternoon, reminding all in attendance of the enduring strength of shared worship and the spiritual heritage that underpins the Order.

The gathering served not only as a spiritual occasion but also as a celebration of community. Members greeted old friends, welcomed new faces, and enjoyed the opportunity to come together in one of Leicester’s most historic churches. The presence of the Red Cross of Constantine was felt throughout the service, reinforcing the Order’s commitment to faith, fellowship, and charitable endeavour.

A sincere thank you goes to everyone who attended and supported this meaningful event. The Province continues to uphold the values of the Red Cross of Constantine, Christian unity, service, and devotion, all clearly reflected in this memorable afternoon at St Margaret’s.
