About the Knights of Pythagoras
The Knights of Pythagoras (KOP) is a youth organization sponsored by Prince Hall Masons. The KOP's goal is to motivate young males between the ages of eight (8) and eighteen (18) to make beneficial use of their time, meet worthwhile companions, and to engage in wholesome educational activities designed to aid and enrich them in their development into young men.
The The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Maryland & Jurisdictions, Inc. mandates that each lodge in the jurisdiction have a KOP program and each Masonic District in the jurisdition has a KOP Council. Charles H. Wesley Lodge No. 147's KOP council is the Peter Hassell Council of the 4th Masonic District and our KOP group meets once a month on the 2nd Saturday of each month. The meeting is formal and is rotated amongst the Lodges within the 4th Masonic District. All Brothers participating as mentors in the KOP are referred to as Sir Knights, and a background check is required for all Brothers wishing to participate in the KOP program.
