The tour takes you to a murder scene and explores Helen C. Escott’s gripping novel Operation Masonic. It is a unique experience that unveils some of the most intriguing mysteries in Newfoundland and Labrador history: Freemasonry.

Join author Helen C. Escott and John FitzGerald, Executive Director of the Basilica Heritage Foundation, as they lead this fascinating tour based on the investigation of lead character Inspector Nick Myra of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. Follow his trail investigating a murder at the Masonic Temple. Unravel the mystery and visit sites with him while looking for hidden Masonic symbols in downtown St. John’s.

At the Basilica, see the “Iota Pulchra” window where the mystery begins.

From there, the tour will stop at historic sites in the Ecclesiastical District where the hunt continues.

You will receive expert insight into the meaning of the cryptic symbols hidden on the facades and interiors of churches such as the Basilica, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian (“The Kirk”), Gower Street United, and the Anglican Cathedral, the cornerstones of the Ecclesiastical District. The tour finishes at the Sergeants’ Memorial in Veterans’ Square, where Operation

Masonic famously ends.

The tour starts at 3 p.m. Sunday, 15 October, 2023 in the front foyer of the Basilica, 200 Military Road. Tickets must be booked in advance.
