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.
