What are Masons?
Masons are the oldest and largest fraternal organization. Today there are over two million Freemasons in North America, and Masonic Lodges are found in almost every community throughout the United States. Freemasonry is an order that encourages its members to practice the faith of their personal acceptance and teaches that, through self-improvement and helping others, members can make the world a better place.
Why should I become a Mason?
Freemasonry is built upon the core tenets of Brotherly love and affection, relief, and truth. Through a commitment to these values, all Freemasons share the common goal of making good men better. In addition to self improvement, a Freemason is a man eager to be part of something bigger than himself, with a reverence for history, compassion in his heart, and a desire to create a better future.
