 What Masonry Means To our Brothers

   

  The following information about the Masons is from the Web site of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey at http://njfreemasonry.org

  Masons (also known as Freemasons) belong to the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world.  Masons representing most occupations and professions number more than two million in North America and meet as equals within the fraternity.

   Thirteen signers of the Constitution and 14 presidents of the U.S. were Masons.

 Dedicated to the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God uses the tools and implements of ancient architectural craftsmen symbolically in a system of instruction designed to build character and moral values.

  The actual origins of Freemasonry have been lost in time. Most scholars believe it arose from the guilds of stonemasons who built the majestic castles and cathedrals of the middle ages. In 1717, a formal organization was started when four lodges in London joined in forming England’s first Grand Lodge.

 The word “lodge” means both a group of Masons meeting together as well as the room or building in which they meet. Masonic buildings are sometimes called “temples” because the original meaning of the term was a “place of knowledge” and Masonry encourages the advancement of knowledge.

 Freemasons of North America contribute more than two million dollars a day to charitable causes. The Shrine Masons operate the largest network of hospitals for burned and orthopedically impaired children in the country.

 Anyone interested in joining our charitable organization contact the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey at http://njfreemasonry.org or Local area Lodge. In Forked River, Waretown or Barnegat Area, Mariners Lodge #150 (609) 698-7377.  To see if our lodge is close to you CLICK HERE!
