Not Just a Man. A Mason.
Freemasonry is a Fraternity or Brotherhood – Not a Religion or Religious Society – It is based on the belief that each person has a responsibility to help make the world a better place. Freemasonry encourages good Men to become better Men by promoting a life dedicated to high ideals, community service, and benevolence. Freemasons believe in the importance of religion; Men of all faiths and religious beliefs are members of the organization. Masons are deeply involved in helping people. Their compassion for others manifests itself in many ways, from housing neglected and abused children to helping seniors remain independent. Masons contribute over $1.4 million every day in the North America to aid individuals who are sick, aged, or destitute, or whose physical, emotional, and psychological needs are not being met. The vast majority of Masonic philanthropies assist people who are not Masons.
To become a member of this Ancient and Honourable Fraternity, a Man must apply of his own free will and accord and with an open heart. Invitations are not issued to prospective members, nor are members solicited.
