What is Freemasonry?Freemasonry is a fraternal society whose goal is “to make good men better”. Freemasons (or simply, Masons) played important roles in American history and come from many walks of life. Yet, within the fraternity all men are considered equals. Masons use the tools and implements of ancient architectural craftsmen symbolically in a system of instruction designed to build character and moral values in its members.
Where do Masons meet?Masons meet in and as a “Lodge”. Why is it called a Blue Lodge. Both a group of Masons meeting together and the room or building in which they meet are referred to as a Lodge. The simple answer … blue has long been associated with Masons. Masonic buildings are also called “temples” because the original meaning of the term was “place of knowledge” and Masonry encourages the advancement of knowledge.
What do Masons do?Besides our monthly meetings, Masonry is deeply involved in helping within their community and in other charitable work. As a whole, the Masons of North America contribute over two million dollars a day to charitable causes.
