Master Mason pewter box The Worshipful Master or Venerable Master (French Masonry) is the presiding officer of the Lodge, assisted by Masonic Lodge Officers. The names, roles and numbers of Lodge officers vary widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; however every lodge has a Senior Warden, in charge of the Fellow Craft Freemasons, and a Junior Warden, in charge of the Entered Apprentice Freemasons. The Worshipful Master has full authority over the Lodge. He directs all of the business of his lodge and presides over ritual and ceremonies.
