His gold Charity Jewel is the first presented in the history of Rawhiti Lodge, which has been in existence for 126 years.
"It means a lot to me and a very big honour," Mr Law said.
In recognition of the fact that behind every hardworking man is a supportive wife, Mr Law's wife Alison was presented with a small jewel necklace.
Mr Law said he joined the lodge because he felt it was another way to help out in the community.
"I believe in benevolence as far as freemasonry goes, to the hilt," he said. "Being the lodge almoner and chaplain is about being out there and helping."
And while Rawhiti Lodge No 66 continues, Mr Law said it was sad that two local lodges had closed.
"Ruahine Lodge in Woodville folded two years ago and just recently the Puketoi Lodge at Pongaroa closed," he said.
"The Lion Lodge in Ormondville now meets during the day, but we've elected to remain with our evening meetings."
In January, Mr Law took a breather from his lodge duties because of ill health and told master Gary Woodford he would be stepping down as almoner and chaplin in May.
But he was asked to continue his chaplaincy role in the meantime.
"I'm still the lodge manager, making sure everything is ticking along," he said.
Former lodge master Paddy Driver applied for the gold-recognition award for Mr Law, to show appreciation for the hard work he had done for Rawhiti Lodge over the years.
"We thought the gold award was the most suitable. The medal has been awarded previously in New Zealand, but not lightly," Mr Driver said.
