What is Freemasonry?
It's the oldest, largest and most prestigious fraternity in
the world. We're kind of like a civic club, a charitable
institution and a fraternity -- all rolled into one.
We're like a civic club in that we do a lot of community
and statewide projects. We're like a major charity in that
we give almost $2 million away every day. But, most
importantly, we are a fraternity for men doing good
things for each other, and trying to bring men of good
morals and ethics together in our community.
What Do Masons Do?
The most important thing we do is take care of each
other and our families. We are a fraternity. That means
we help other Masons
Masonic Principles
Masonry is the world's first and largest fraternal
organization. It is based on the belief that each man has
a responsibility to improve himself and help make the
world a better place.
As Masons, we lead by example, give back to our
communities, and support numerous Masonic
philanthropies. We invest in children, our
neighborhoods, and our future.
Our values
The rich traditions and core values of our centuries-old
fraternity are relevant today and will endure for
centuries to come.
Ethics
Masons practice a lifestyle based on honor, integrity,
and philanthropic values. Masons believe that things like
honesty, compassion, trust, and knowledge are
important.
Tolerance
The fraternity transcends religious, ethnic, cultural,
social, and educational differences. We respect others'
opinions and strive to grow and develop as human
beings.
Personal growth
Our continuing pursuit of knowledge, ethics, and
leadership skills makes us better men and brings more
meaning to our lives.
Philanthropy
We are committed to make a difference in our world
through community service, volunteerism, and charity.
Family
Strong family relationships are important, and we
include our families in many of our activities. Striving to
be better husbands, fathers, and family members
enhances our fellowship.
