A Worldwide Fraternity of Honorable Men
The fundamental principal of Freemasonry is that men have a responsibility to make the world better.
This purpose allows Freemasons to go on a path of self-discovery to become better sons, husbands, and fathers. Millions of upstanding Freemasons walk this path after taking their sacred oath and develop a profound sense of community with their fellow brothers.

Why I'm proud to be a Mason.
Mark Walsh
"I am proud to be a Mason and shall always be happy to number myself among those who uphold those cardinal principles and moral standards of life that are so needed if our organization is to continue on the high level that has been its character from its inception."
Thomas Roberts
"Freemasonry found me at a time in my life when I need what it teaches most. Masonry saved my life and helped lead me in a direction I am proud of.
I found myself by finding my Brothers."
Eric J. Johnson
"I couldn"t imagine my life without the disciplinary practice of the principles which Freemasonry espouses. There is a subtle joy, derived from the lifelong developing ability to interpret life through the signs, symbols, and allegories of Masonry, which undercuts my conscience life. Within that joy, there is an immense satisfaction that I share this unique experience with a
wide and varied group of men from all over the world."
Nicholas X. Walsh
“Freemasonry encompasses morality, spirituality and mysticism as well as the arts and sciences. Based on profound biblical models, here is a way of living and seeing which has the strength to unite mankind in a far deeper and more successful manner then any political movement ever could. Masonic themes have appeared in a number of my artwork. In addition to canvasses devoted to Freemasonry, I am frequently drawn to also include some Masonic subjects and symbols in my other paintings as well.”
