PHASA, Inc., (Prince Hall Association of San Antonio) a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, held a special meeting to hold tri-annual elections of officers at the 19th Masonic District Temple on the city’s East Side.
Consisting of more than 300 members, PHASA is the philanthropic arm of the 19th Masonic District comprised of six lodges, four Eastern Star Chapters and several affiliated Scottish and York Rite organizations.
The following officers were elected: Chief Executive Officer: Burrell Parmer of San Antonio Lodge No. 1; Chief Operating Officer: William Paige of Star Tom Lodge No. 100; Secretary: Sidney Thompson of John T. Maxey Lodge No. 74: Treasurer: Michael Stuart of John T. Maxey Lodge No. 74; and Manager of Member Affairs: Michael Greenwood of Star Tom Lodge No. 100.
PHASA is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, social, educational, and scientific purposes to include such purposes as making distributions to non-profit organizations.
The 19th Masonic District Council embodies an attractive system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. The fraternity strives to teach a man the duty he owes to God, his neighbor and to himself; but interferes neither with religion nor politics as it prescribes the practice of virtues in the conduct of its business. Its purpose is service, which is rendered to the people of San Antonio to improve their social, cultural, and economic conditions.
