Membership
Join a brotherhood built on
Friendship, Charity, and Benevolence,
serving the Fredericksburg community since 1872.
At Fredericksburg Lodge No. 22, people from diverse backgrounds come together to develop as leaders, support one another, and serve their community. If you’re looking for meaningful fellowship, not just another meeting, this is where it starts.
The Knights of Pythias is an international, non-sectarian fraternal order, chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1864. Our lodge carries that legacy forward locally—combining friendship, service, and personal growth in a way you don’t find many other places.
