The Steps To Becoming A Freemason

Welcome to the first step of your journey. How this journey unfolds – that’s up to you.

Masonry is about respecting the past, understanding and being in the present, and planning for the future. The goal of our Fraternity in general, and Ancient Light Lodge in particular, has always been and always will be to ‘make good men better’. We actively exemplify this ideal by reminding our members of their duties towards their families, their neighbours, and their communities. And to always be mindful and supportive of those less fortunate, both Mason and non-Masons alike.

If this sounds of interest to you, we would like to extend to you an invitation to learn more. We caution you though to not take this step lightly, as this decision has the power to change your life. The idea is to already know a member of Ancient Light Lodge; however, if you don’t, and you choose to contact us, we’ll arrange for an introduction.

Once you’ve done all your reading and research, and you decide that Freemasonry appeals to you, the next step is to contact us! We use a 6-Step process to guide you through to make sure that Freemasonry is right for you.
