About Freemasonry
How do I Join?
Although it is a privilege to be a member of the fraternity, many people find it surprising that the first in joining Freemasonry is simply to ask a Mason.
2B1 ASK1
To be one Mason, you have to ask one. Why? Because you have to join on your own free will and accord. No one from a lodge can legally ask you to join. It has to be your own decision. Your own desire. Your own action.
If you know someone who is a Mason, he will gladly get you a petition to join a lodge. If you don’t know one, then it would be best to check out a lodge nearest you. Someone will gladly give you the information you need.
Aside from asking a Mason, you will also have to fulfill the following requirements:
• You have to be a man of lawful age (18 years old in this jurisdiction)
• You must profess a belief in a Supreme Being
