Welcome to Freemasonry!
We appreciate your interest in exploring this timeless fraternity. Joining Freemasonry involves meeting specific qualifications to become a member of a Lodge.
Philosophy and Values
Freemasonry embraces the philosophy of “Making Good Men Better,” focusing on improving individuals of strong character. Membership is open to those who are at least 18 years old and join voluntarily, driven by their own free will.
Taking the First Step
Did you know that prospective Masons initiate the process themselves? Unlike the common misconception that one needs an invitation, Freemasonry encourages candidates to approach a Mason. Following the principle of “2B1ASK1,” simply asking a Mason about joining often leads to enriching conversations about the fraternity. Masons are eager to share their experiences and insights, so don’t hesitate to connect with someone you know!
About Aurora Lodge A.F. & A.M.
Aurora Lodge is proud to have a vibrant and diverse membership representing various backgrounds, professions, and cultures. From the moment you express interest, the Lodge supports your Masonic journey. Events like social gatherings, open days, and Warden’s nights provide insight into Freemasonry’s values, expectations, and commitments, while allowing you to meet members informally and address any questions.
Application Process
If you choose to apply, the journey begins with a background check, followed by an evaluation by the Lodge’s review committee. This includes discussing your belief in God or a Supreme Being—an essential criterion as atheism is incompatible with Freemasonry. The committee’s recommendations are shared with the Lodge, which then votes on your application. Upon approval, you’ll begin your path to becoming a Mason and join the ranks of the world’s oldest and most respected fraternity.
Mission and Principles
Freemasonry aims to unite like-minded individuals in a global Brotherhood that transcends differences in religion, ethnicity, culture, social status, and education. The core principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth inspire members to serve their God, families, communities, and countries, while fostering fellowship, compassion, and support.
