What is a Freemason?

 What is a Freemason? A man who has taken an obligation to make of himself the best he can, for himself, his family, and his community.

   What is Freemasonry? A fraternity designed to teach morality and ethics, and train good men to make themselves of service to themselves, their families and their communities. Freemasonry is not a religion, but it teaches its members to be active in their chosen faith. Freemasonry subscribes to no partisan politics, but it teaches its members to be active in civic concerns.

   Freemasonry is not a charity; although it promotes charity in its members — in North America, freemasons contribute some two and a half million dollars a day to operate children’s hospitals, cancer clinics, burn wards, senior’s homes and other such facilities.
