What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization. It is founded upon timeless principles of tolerance, care, kindness, honesty and trust. As Freemasons we live by an ethical and moral code that creates an atmosphere where friendship and understanding can grow among men of every religion, race and culture.
Freemasons believe that:
-
Truth, honesty and fair dealing are the cornerstones of respect and dignity in our relationships with others.
-
Charity in thought, word and action makes a positive difference in the lives of others and ourselves.
-
Commitment to our families and friends, courtesy to our neighbors and service to our communities and country are the foundations for a well-lived life.
-
The opportunities for camaraderie, fellowship and service offered by Freemasonry nurture personal growth, making us better men.
