EXPLORE FREEMASONRY
Welcome to our community of Freemasons, one of the oldest fraternal and charitable organizations in the world. We are proud to uphold our core values of Integrity, Friendship, Respect, and Service. Join us on our path through life and discover the benefits of being a Freemason
WHY FREEMASONRY?
Freemasonry was founded by men sharing a commitment to supporting each other in friendship, fellowship and service to mankind. For nearly 275 years, members or Saint Andrew’s Lodge # 1 have found fulfillment as members of the fraternity, which still operates on these same core values.
It teaches kindness in the home, honesty in business, courtesy in society, concern for the unfortunate, and love for one another.
WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization composed of men of high moral values from every race, religion, opinion and background who have reached the age of 21 and believe in a supreme being.
Freemasonry teaches men to be tolerant of the beliefs of others, to be patriotic, law-abiding citizens, temperate in all things, to aid the unfortunate, to practice Brotherly Love and to faithfully accept and discharge solemn obligations to each other, their families, communities, countries and the world in general.
It aims to promote Friendship, Morality, and Brotherly Love among its members.
TO BECOME A FREEMASON
One of Freemasonry's customs is not to solicit members. Recruiting is simply not permitted. Anyone, however, should feel free to approach any Mason to seek further information about our Craft.
Membership is open for men, 21 years of age or older, of any background or faith, who meet the qualifications and standards of good moral character and reputation.
