Freemasonry is an excellent mechanism through which the virtues of brotherly love, relief and truth are practiced. It is the oldest and largest world wide fraternity dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. Although of a religious nature, Freemasonry is not a religion. It urges its members, however, to be faithful and devoted to their own religious beliefs.

As a fraternity, it provides an opportunity for men to meet and enjoy friendly companionship under the guidelines of strict moral principles. It encourages goodwill toward all mankind. It also promotes the principles of charity to the highest degree to improve the state of mankind.

One of Freemasonry's customs is not to solicit members. However, anyone should feel free to approach any Mason to seek further information about our organization. Membership is for men, 18 years of age or older who meet the qualifications and standards of character. A man seeking membership must be of a good moral character and must believe in the existence of a supreme being. To join a lodge, a man must be recommended by two members of that lodge. He must understand that his character will be investigated. After approval by the members of that lodge, he will be accepted as an applicant for membership.

The doors of Freemasonry are open to men who seek harmony with their fellow man and wish to make this world a better place to live.

TO BE ONE, ASK ONE.
