Massachusetts Freemasonry

"Impressive Building"

A Look at the Life of a Mason

When a man decides to become a Freemason, he joins the world’s oldest and largest adult fraternity in hopes that he will grow and develop as a human being. But, what exactly is life like after joining the Freemasons?

• Masonic Education – When a man becomes a Freemason, he starts out as an Entered Apprentice. As he and his brothers rise through the Fraternity, they will regularly meet and discuss their belief in the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man, and the Immortality of the Soul.

• Social Relationships – The Masonic Fraternity provides numerous opportunities and inducements for men to gather for socialization and fraternal development. In addition to being devoted to his family, faith, and country, a Freemason is devoted to his fraternity and his fellow Masons.  

• Personal Development – Nearly all Masonic activities are concerned with personal development. Each member is encouraged to make efforts to improve his community, inspire feelings of charity and good will, and translate the Masonic principles and convictions in to individual action.

• Community Service – Every Freemason believes that charity and community service is the brightest gem that can adorn a Masonic tenure. Through community outreach programs and personal acts of charity, a Freemason spreads the Masonic principles of love, peace, and virtue towards those in need or distress.
