El Paso Holy Royal Arch Chapter No. 90 Honored for Outstanding Community Service by Black El Paso Voice
El Paso’s Prince Hall Masonic community reached a proud milestone this year as El Paso Holy Royal Arch Chapter No. 90 was formally recognized by Black El Paso Voice with a Community Service Award, celebrating the chapter’s consistent, hands‑on commitment to uplifting families, students, and vulnerable populations across the city.
The chapter’s mission—“Good Men Better”—is more than a motto. It is a lived practice reflected in their mentorship programs, school district support, Juneteenth participation, book‑drive contributions, Ronald McDonald House outreach, and ongoing partnerships with local shelters and youth organizations. These efforts, highlighted throughout their public service record on the El Paso Holy Royal Arch website, demonstrate a sustained commitment to improving the social, cultural, and economic conditions of El Paso families.
Black El Paso Voice, a leading platform amplifying Black excellence and community impact in the region, selected Chapter No. 90 for its consistent, measurable, and compassionate service. The award acknowledges not only the chapter’s programs, but also the leadership culture that drives them—one rooted in character, charity, and civic responsibility.
In addition to the chapter’s collective recognition, Past Excellent High Priest (PEHP) Mikels received an individual award for his personal dedication to community uplift. His leadership has been instrumental in organizing charitable events, mobilizing volunteers, and ensuring that the chapter’s outreach remains both meaningful and sustainable. The individual award underscores his role as a model of service within Prince Hall Masonry and the broader El Paso community.
This dual recognition marks an important moment for El Paso Holy Royal Arch Chapter No. 90. It affirms the chapter’s impact while energizing its members to continue expanding mentorship programs, educational support, and charitable initiatives throughout the region.
The chapter’s work stands as a reminder that service, when rooted in purpose and carried out with humility, strengthens the entire community.
