WHAT DO FREEMASONS DO?
- Freemasons meet regularly in their Lodges for the transaction of necessary
business, for fellowship and for the discussion of matters of Masonic interest.
They are pledged to preserve the moral fiber and quality of life and to
act in a spirit of helpfulness towards all men. They are taught to make
Charity and Benevolence a distinguishing characteristic of their Masonic
life.
- Our Grand Lodge as hole does not undertake any large public projects,
it has its own Benevolent Fund, built up by contribution of our members,
through which Masons or their dependents have been helped in a time of
need. The responsibility for humanitarian activity falls on ndividual Lodges,
as well as Grand Lodge. Each one may choose its own particular project.
- Many Lodges present scholarships for deserving deserving students in
local schools, provide useful equipment to schools for handicapped children,
or special equipment needed in Rehabilitation Hospitals. In some cases
generous support has been given to local community projects.
- Freemasons do not appeal to the public for funds, all our contributions
come from our own resources. In this way an attempt is made to inspire
our members with a feeling of charity and goodwill towards mankind.
