As of November 2026 · locators and lodge records read November 2026

Meeting now. Council Oak Lodge No. 745, F. & A.M., chartered 1966, at 19780 Brick Road, South Bend, IN 46637 (the lodge's own site) — the modern lodge seated nearest the CDP's Clay Township side. St. Joseph Lodge No. 45, the county's oldest body (instituted 1842), is still listed at 427 North Main Street, South Bend, IN 46601, the temple address it shares in the record with South Bend Commandery No. 13. St. Peter's Lodge No. 106, Edwardsburg, is current on the Grand Lodge of Michigan's list — 2nd Tuesday, 7:00 P.M., 53 members. Terre Coupee Lodge No. 204, New Carlisle, is listed active at 54522 Timothy Road. Mishawaka's Masonic Temple at 1810 Went Avenue is listed active with Wednesday evening hours. Father Stephen T. Badin Council No. 4263 meets on the second Monday of each month at the Knight's House beside St. Pius X, Granger. Aerie No. 2083 of the Eagles, 225 S Main Street, Mishawaka, is active with current hours. South Bend's Elks — Lodge No. 235 in Howard's 1907 roster, then at the Elks Temple on W. Colfax Avenue — stands at 3535 W McKinley Avenue, South Bend, operating status active, its officers listed (Jill VandeWalle, Exalted Ruler).

Proven to a waypoint, not to today. Mishawaka Lodge No. 130 is proven in operation through its December 2006 officer installation and the 2007 Masonic Temple trustee item; its present charter standing on the Grand Lodge of Indiana's locator was not confirmable by text fetch and is left as a named gap with that locator as settler. Monitor Lodge No. 286, I.O.O.F., rests at its 2001 waypoint (meeting at 204 N. Main Street, Mishawaka); its current standing is a named gap, settler the Grand Lodge of Indiana, I.O.O.F., roster. Every other body in the 1907 census is carried here as a historical body; no survival is claimed for it that the locators did not return. A century on, the township pattern holds in its modern form: Granger still seats no lodge hall of its own in the record reached — its one resident order body is a parish council that meets in a Knight's House beside the church — and its Masons still sit in other towns' lodges, now including one chartered in 1966 a few minutes down Brick Road.
