Greetings from the Worshipful Master
Welcome Travellers!
My family and I have called Stouffville our home when we started a family. Im very fortunate to have been associated with the Lodge, which has been serving the community of Stouffville for over 150 years(even before Confederation). Our members or as we call them brothers come from all walks of life and backgrounds. A few of our main focuses are charity, self betterment and to serve our community.
Our History
In the late 1850’s there was sufficient interest in Masonry around Stouffville to warrant the formation of a lodge in the area
Who are We
Freemasonry is the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. It’s members share a common goal of helping each other become better men.
Its body of knowledge and system of ethics is based on the belief that each man has a responsibility to improve himself while being devoted to his family, faith, country and fraternity.
The roots for freemasonry go back centuries. It’s members are divers, high profile leaders, physicians, construction workers, farmers, and, maybe you.
We are united by three ancient and fundamental principles – brotherly love, charity and truth – that are made relevant to the 21st Century through the personal development, good works and social connections available to our members in the 550 + lodges across Ontario.
Why Masonry
Masonry does not strive to make a man better than any other man, but instead, enables and nurtures him to be the best man HE can BE.
Masonry benefits and supports individuals, families, organizations and communities through numerous activities and initiatives.
Charity is not the main objective of Freemasonry, but it does awaken a latent, generous spirit within us and, once awakened, the Mason better understands his duties to himself, his family and his society.
Any man of faith, 21 years of age or older, who is of good moral character and reputation can become a Mason.
Why not you?
