WHAT IS A FREEMASON?
A Freemason is....
A Freemason is a member of the world’s largest fraternal organization. He not only enjoys the friendship and brotherhood of other Freemasons in his community, but also is welcomed by Freemasons anywhere in the world. A Freemason is a man of faith, who uses tools of moral and ethical principles to serve mankind. He binds himself to like-minded men in a brotherhood that transcends all religions, ethnic, social cultural and educational differences.
Freemasons believe that there is such a thing as honour, and that a man has a responsibility to act with honour in everything he does. Freemasons believe that it is not only more blessed to give than to receive, it’s also more rewarding. Freemasons believe that every person should strive to be a good citizen and that he has a moral duty to be true to the country in which he lives, for loyalty to one’s country is essential. Freemasons are expected to obey every lawful authority, obey the laws of the country in which they live and promote its general welfare. Freemasons and the Masonic family contribute not only their money, but also an incredible amount of time to various charities. Internationally, the Masonic Family donates over three million dollars per day to various charitable works. Much of our work is given anonymously. We're not after gratitude. We're more than rewarded by that feeling which comes from knowing we have helped another person overcome some adversity, so that their life can go on.
