Our Ceremonies

While not generally discussed in public, our ceremonies are used to convey our tenets to our members. Candidates for initiation, participating in these ceremonies learn solemn and serious truths about what we stand for. Candidates can be assured that at no time during the initiation process will a candidate be hurt, frightened or embarrassed.

What does it take for me to join?

Any man who is 19 years of age or older and of good moral character, who comes well-recommended, and who believes in a Supreme Being may petition to become a Freemason.
