Who are Masons?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Masons are spiritual and moral men who choose to associate with a group of like-minded individuals for mutual benefit. What they find in Freemasonry is a disciplined and systematic course of self-improvement based on the Golden Rule: always do to others what you would like them to do to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is welcome, regardless of race, color, or creed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masons are spiritual and moral people, but there\u2019s no room for discussion of sectorial religion or partisan politics in freemasonry. Members are free to follow their own path, as long as it fits with the ethical principles of integrity and virtue symbolized by the square and compasses\u2014the icon most commonly associated with Masonry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masonry stresses the principles of kindness and consideration at home, honesty in business, courtesy towards others, dependability in one\u2019s work, compassion for the less fortunate, and being a good citizen of the world. Masonry recognizes that each man has obligations to his family, his work, his religious beliefs, his community, and himself – these must take priority and Masonry does not interfere with his ability to meet these obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masons participate in three progressive degrees, each one teaching an important lesson through the use of symbols. The degrees help a Mason think about the big questions: Where did I come from? What am I doing here? And what comes next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Lodge is not a building\u2026it\u2019s the men that form it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation of the Masonic family is the Masonic lodge. It is here that Masonry teaches its lessons: kindness in the home, honesty in business, courtesy in society, fairness in work, concern for the unfortunate, and respect for one another. Most lodges are clearly signed and located on main streets in communities small and large across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masonry is not a secret society\u2026we\u2019re happy to share what we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any information about Masons can be found at a well-stocked bookstore or local library. Masonic buildings are clearly marked and listed in the phonebook and members often identify themselves by wearing Masonic jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The so-called Masonic \u201cSecrets\u201d are confined to modes of recognition by which a visitor can prove himself to be a Mason and thereby become eligible to enter a Lodge in which he was otherwise not known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
