Freemasonry is a
fraternal organization dedicated to Brotherly Love, Relief and
Truth.
Brotherly Love:
How a man chooses to practice his personal religious beliefs is
left entirely up to him, but Freemasonry recognizes the strong
bond which unites all people under One Creator. Our members
include men from a wide range of religious backgrounds, but each
of them shares a commitment to this important principle.
Relief:
Because of
our strong bond of Brotherly Love, Masons provide Relief to help
those who are in need. This includes the notion of charity, and
Masons provide much assistance to worthy charities, but it also
means offering a helping hand, in other ways, to people that need
assistance.
Truth:
As Masons, we are committed to being honest and truthful with
other people. The Masonic Fraternity teaches a man to be faithful
to his responsibilities to God, his Country, his fellow man, his
family and himself. The Masonic principle of Truth also teaches a
man to search for wisdom and understanding. For only in this way
can he grow and become a better person. The pursuit of knowledge
is at the very heart of our purpose.
