What is a Mason?

    and is of a charitable nature.
  • A Mason cares for his Family
  • A Mason cares about his fellow man.
  • A Mason is Loyal to his country

What is involved in Masonry?
  • Nothing is ever demanded of you, attendance is
    desired, but not mandatory
  • Masons meet on average once a month, for one
    evening. There are other gatherings within the
    lodge but those are for members who choose a more
    active role.

What is involved in Masonry? II
  • Some members go on to become officers of the
    lodge, actively participating in its operation.
  • Some members attend the monthly meeting and sit
    on the sidelines.
  • It is up to you how much time you devote to
    Masonry

Why become a Mason?
  • There is no compelling reason why a man must
    become a Mason, it is purely a matter of personal
    choice.
  • Each Mason has his own reasons for joining.
  • Some join because they wish to devote time to a
    charitable organization.
  • Some like the companionship, others belong
    because it is a family tradition to do so.

    society. This is not true.
  • There is a vast difference between a secret
    society and a society with secrets.
  • There are details in many Fraternal Organizations
    which are shared only by members of that
    organization.

    is kept secret are the details regarding the
    Ranks within it.

Is Freemasonry a Religion?
  • No, Freemasonry is not in itself a religion,
    however all of its members believe in one
    Supreme Deity.
  • You can belong to any regular religion and be
    accepted into Freemasonry.
  • Masonry is not a form of worship, merely a
    gathering of people who believe in one Supreme
    Deity.
