We were honored to host the reception for Sebastian Pesquera, the 56th International Congress Secretary, on Saturday, May 13th, 2023. The event kicked off with a warm welcome to brethren and advisors from Region 1 and beyond. Distinguished guests included the Grand Master of DeMolay International, Dad Jon Sellars, and the International Master Councilor, Cooper Crabtree. The speakers highlighted Sebastian’s significant contributions to the DeMolay and Masonic communities. The evening continued with a dinner in the banquet hall, featuring a delightful meal provided by Lasies. Sebastian’s family presented thoughtful gifts, including portraits, and the mayor of Stratford proclaimed May 13th as Sebastian Pesquera Day. The night concluded with Sebastian receiving the William Campbell Medal, the first Active DeMolay to do so in 13 years. It’s been an extraordinary year with our first congress officer who has greatly supported our jurisdiction and excelled internationally. We eagerly anticipate his final month with DeMolay International.
