About Freemasonry
What
is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is a
world-wide organization consisting of men of quality, varying
race, religion and creed, consistently teaching and living by a
universal moral code founded on the highest standards of ethics,
honesty and strength of character.
We are a fraternal
organization committed to charity, true fellowship and brotherly
love under watchful eye of our Creator. We share a common bond
amongst all members and their families, working together toward
the betterment of our communities, our country and the world.
The Masonic Lodge is a vibrant, respected and contributing part
of community life.
A
man who becomes a Mason can expect to find the opportunity to
learn and to lead; to inspire and be inspired, teach and learn
and improve himself as a man, husband, father, Brother and
community member. Masons are proud to be a member of an
organization committed to making a difference.
It is likely that
there are many Freemasons active in your local community.
Freemasonry has been known as the quiet fraternity over the
years. Masons quietly go about supporting charitable work and
community projects, such as blood drives, Special Olympics and
Child learning programs.
