The Lodge is named in memory of the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques DeMolay, also the namesake of the Order of DeMolay from many of whose Senior members are founders of the Lodge. The namesake was chosen not only to revere the memory of a great hero and martyr but more so to give inspiration to Senior DeMolays to link their fraternal affinity with the Masonic family by pursuing the Masonic path.  

True to this vision, Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No. 305, holds the distinction of having the most number of Senior DeMolays in its roll of members. The Lodge prides itself of having among its members the prime movers of the DeMolay movement in the Philippines and its Past Masters at the helm of the Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay of the Republic of the Philippines. The first Senior DeMolay to be elected as Grand Master of the Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay in the Philippines, VW Evaristo A. Leviste - is the first Worshipful Master of Jacques DeMolay Memorial Lodge No. 305.
