In Pennsylvania, conceal carry permits are in high demand. The public has many questions about obtaining a permit and where it’s permissible to carry a weapon. As a service to the public, Petrolia Lodge is hosting a special program and you are invited to attend.
On Tuesday, September 6, Venango County Sheriff Eric Foy will deliver a Conceal Carry program at Petrolia Masonic Lodge. The lodge is located 19 E. First Street in Oil City, PA. The program will begin at 8:15pm. Sheriff Foy’s educational address will focus on guidelines and procedures for obtaining a conceal carry permit and how they affect your rights. Other topics will be firearm safety, encounters with law enforcement, and issues surrounding the use of deadly force.
The public is invited and encouraged to attend. The program is free but, please note, no one is permitted to bring a weapon into the Lodge.
For more information, please contact Mr. Richard Palm, Master of Petrolia Lodge #363. Mr. Palm can be reached at 814-677-5146.

Welcome all Mason's and their families. This site is designed for
Petrolia Lodge #363, located in Oil City, PA. This site will be open to
all Masonic bodies in and around Venango County, PA. I hope that all
of us can work together to promote the values of FreeMasonry. All ideas
and suggestions will be looked at and acted on. All are free to post
to this site but please understand that in an effort to maintain our
high values, all posts will be read and approved by one of our
administrators before it is posted to the site. So your post will not
show up instantly as it would on most other sites.
I strongly suggest you consider coming to our Masonic Family Night on the 4th Wednesday of each month. Be sure to check the calendar each month as we hope to take some trips to various events and sites when possible. These may not always fall on Wednesday. If this works, I would like to have additional Family Nights each month. We hope this will develop into a memorable event(s) that everyone will look forward to.
We are still learning the capabilities of this site. Each post has the ability to automatically post to; Facebook, email, text, twitter, hangouts, google voice, G+, and several others I still don't understand. Please be patient, we are still learning.

Gene H. Huston
Gene H. Huston (33°) is the oldest living Past Master (1960) of Petrolia
Lodge No. 363 and a member of the Venango Lodge of Perfection.
Accompanying this narrative is a 1960 picture of Gene, as well as the
Lodge 363 officers that year (Showing Gene Huston, center, Lloyd Fox,
second from right, also Dick Burgert).
Gene turned 94 this year. He resides in the Memory Support Unit at
Garden Spot Village, New Holland, PA (Lancaster County), a senior
residential care community. He has health issues, which include
profound dementia. That said, he is up and about most days and retains
selective memories of his time in Oil City. Gene enjoys visits from family
and friends. His granddaughter made him a great-grandfather in 2015.
Gene was born and grew up in Franklin, moving to Oil City around 1950.
In those times he was active in community service, including Kiwanis, the
Community Chest, and the Tuberculosis Society (a disease that claimed
his mother, when he was just eight years old, as well as a brother).
Gene is a combat decorated WWII US Navy vet. Gene served in the Battle
of the Atlantic, dodging torpedoes from German wolf packs. Then he
volunteered for hazardous duty in occupied China with Naval Intelligence,
where the unit’s duties included getting shot-down American pilots back
across the lines from Japanese-controlled territory.
After the war Gene went to college on the GI bill and became a Licensed
Professional Engineer in both PA and NJ. He worked in Electrical
Engineering for Penelec in Oil City and Johnstown, as well as General
Public Utilities in Parsippany and Reading, PA.
He sends congratulations, greetings, and warm best wishes to Petrolia
Lodge No. 363 in its 150th year.
