What Do the Masons Do?
WHAT DO THE MASONS DO?
Like many people, Freemasons try to live in accordance with
high moral principles as good citizens. They don't claim to have
a monopoly on these things, but they do join together in the
Masonic fraternity and take a solemn oath to do them.
EVERYONE WELCOME
Freemasonry welcomes men from every denomination or creed,
requiring only that they affirm their belief in a Supreme Being.
Freemasonry builds character. It insists that members in
their daily lives practice their faith in God and their
patriotism. They shape their lives in accordance with the best
practices of civilized society, and they believe strongly in
individual rights.
SUPPORT GOOD CAUSES
Freemasons provide more than $1.5-million a day every year
for charitable causes. These dollars go to support scholarships
and medical research, hospitals for crippled children, facilities
for those who have suffered severe burns or who have speech
disorders or mental illness. Masonic groups also help people
with serious eye problems and with respiratory difficulties. and
they provide retirement homes for needy members, their wives and
widows.
Mostly what the Masons do is to work at building a better
world for all people.
