Bro. and Pastor Charles H. Lacquement, Th.D., D.D., Grand Chaplain and Senior Pastor/Director of Pastoral Care at the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown recently announced his plan to retire from the Masonic Homes effective Sept. 1, 1999.

Earlier this year, there was a grand celebration of Pastor Lacquement's 25 years of ministry at the Masonic Homes. Pastor Lacquement is a member of Abraham C. Treichler Lodge No. 682, Elizabethtown.

Pastor Lacquement provided a year's notice of his plan to retire in consideration of his care and concern for the residents, employees, and Committee on Masonic Homes. This will allow time for his successor to be selected and to assure that the ministry and the services he and his two assistants have provided will continue.

At the same time, applications will be accepted to fill his position as Senior Pastor/Director of Pastoral Care. Anyone who is interested in applying for this position with the Masonic Homes can send a resume/curriculum vitae to: Mrs. Carolyn J. Bair, Director of Human Resources, Masonic Homes, One Masonic Drive, Elizabethtown, PA 17022, phone: (717) 361-4522, fax: (717) 361-5300.
