About Freemasonry
Freemasons use four important guiding principles to help define their path through life: integrity, friendship, respect and charity. In today’s world filled with uncertainty, these principles ring as true as they have at any point in the organisation’s history. One of the oldest social and charitable organisations in the world, Freemasonry’s roots lie in the traditions of the medieval stonemasons who built our cathedrals and castles.
INTEGRITY
Freemasonry is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values. It provides a structure to instil in its members a moral and ethical approach to life-based on integrity, friendship respect, and charity.
FRIENDSHIP
Freemasonry provides the foundation for friendships between its members, many of which will last a lifetime. At the same time members are urged to regard the interests of the family as paramount.
RESPECT
Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion, or background. Freemasonry also teaches concern for people, care for the less fortunate, and help those in need.
CHARITY
Freemasons practice charity and care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole – both by giving to charitable projects and causes, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals.
