- Why do you want to join?
If you want to join Masonry to make financial or any other material profit out of it – then you have knocked on the wrong door. Being a Freemason will not make you rich, will not help you advance in your job and will not reveal to you hidden political secrets or treasures.
What will it do for you?
It will enrich you with knowledge, it will help you become a better person, it will motivate you to improve your own and the life of others. It will open the doors to a true and genuine brotherhood, friendship, trust. It will strengthen your moral values.
- We do not solicit members.
To be one, ask one. You can approach any mason and he can talk to you about masonry. He can tell you many things about the lodge, the history of the fraternity, the ideals of Freemasonry but he cannot invite you to join. So, if you are interested in joining the fraternity, you, yourself, have to ask a mason. It’s not something you should be worried about – most masons will be proud to be asked.
- Your family agrees with your decision.
If you are married, you must have the consent of your wife and your family members, or you won’t be able to join! Family, always comes first.
- Joining a lodge.
If you have a close friend, colleague, relative who is a mason – it might be good for you to join his lodge, because you will have a familiar face and someone who will help you in the beginning. But, make sure that the lodge you will be joining is close to where you live (or work). There is no point in becoming a mason if you can’t attend lodge meetings.
If you don’t know any masons, the best way to proceed would be to contact us by e-mail. A member of the lodge will get in touch with you and arrange a meeting. We strongly recommend that you visit the lodge, before you make any decisions. That way you can meet the members and ask all the questions that you may have.
After that, if you feel that you found the right lodge for you – tell one of the members that you want to join and ask for an application. He will guide you through the process
