Freemasonry

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest secular fraternal societies. It is a society of men who are concerned with moral and spiritual values. Members are taught its precepts (moral lessons and self-knowledge) in a series of ritual dramas which follow ancient forms, and use stonemasons’ customs and tools as allegorical guides.

Freemasonry is founded on the four guiding principles of Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Service.
