Worshipful Master’s Address
An ancient tradition in Masonry, exercising tolerance for differing religious and political views, allows men of many different belief structures to work together. Masons call each other brothers because they believe they are all equal and work to make “good men better”. Through our Masonic bonds, we reaffirm our dedication and unity to become involved citizens who have a strong desire to make the world a better place to live

Masons are good men who choose to make themselves better. To uphold Masonic principles symbolized by the Square and Compasses, Masons are expected to act with kindness, courtesy and compassion towards others, be considerate and honest at home and in business, and to be dependable… when they give their word, they are expected to uphold it. In short, Masons are committed to being good citizens
