The international sessions of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows were a great success, thanks to the dedication and support of so many.
A heartfelt thank-you to Kanawha Lodge No. 25 for hosting us so warmly in Charleston, West Virginia, and to everyone who attended, organized, and contributed to making this gathering truly special.
We also celebrate the institution of the 2025–2026 officers, including IOOF Sovereign Grand Master Thomas J. Calabrese, IARA President Pamelia M. Isenhower, and General Commanding of GMC Marion Owens Jr. Their leadership will help guide our Order in the year ahead.
To all the members, volunteers, and friends who made SGL 2025 possible—thank you. Your efforts keep the spirit of Odd Fellowship thriving across the world.
Here’s to the year ahead and all we will accomplish together! 4 Comments

The Odd Fellows Chaplain History and Manual is a first-of-its-kind guide for chaplains at every level of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Complete with historical knowledge, philosophy, practical advice, and ceremonies, this volume is not simply a bastion of clarity for anyone seeking to deepen their service to the Order by serving as Chaplain; It is also an invaluable resource for any Odd Fellow looking to balance the needs of our diverse membership with an adherence to the traditional requirement of belief in a Supreme Being.
Written by Rev. Michael H. Duminiak, a Sovereign Grand Chaplain and ordained minister, this book provides grounded advice for navigating Odd Fellows law and tradition without compromising our personal faiths. The Odd Fellows Chaplain History and Manual is also an attractive addition to any Odd Fellow’s library, and is destined to be a favorite among collectors for years to come.
