How We Make Good Men Better
Making good men better is to extract the essence of the Masonic experience. We emphasize what good men have in common, rather than what makes them different. As good men, we learn and seek to check our passions, maintaining confidences and treating others with respect and honesty.
As good men, we are interested in helping others. Charity being one of the highest callings in Masonry, we help widows, orphans, our brothers, and the world at large. It is an opportunity for us, not a requirement. World wide, it is estimated that Lodges and individual members contribute a million dollars a day to various charitable endeavors.
Our ritual and ceremony serve to convey and teach certain moral lessons and elevate the individuals to a position higher than themselves. The lessons are essentially things you ave likely already heard or learned when surrounded by a moral society. What makes them unique to Freemasonry is that they are presented in a specific format and context. With these basic tenets in common Good Men become better. Improving themselves and by extension their communities.

The Masonic meeting room, without a doubt is our most opulent room in the building, is redolent of spirits of famed past Masons like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and George Washington. One can almost hear strains of Mozart’s symbolically Masonic Magic Flute hanging in the air. It’s awe-inspiring.
Like all traditional Masonic Lodges, ours is situated due east and west. This has its roots in The Tabernacle of Moses and King Solomon’s Temple. In the meeting room, officers sit in chairs according to direction, Our chairs, which look like theater seats, are all remnants from the Opera House. There’s a special seat for the Secretary. The grand piano remains, although the harmonium organ which was once there has been removed.
Our Masonic education, like all Blue Lodges, is divided into 3 degrees, and functions like a Master/Apprentice program and reflects the values and beliefs of Masonic philosophy. Our Apprentices are given lectures by our Masters. One lecture deals with an arrangement of 12 steps, has it’s roots in Philosophy and Sciences. There is a hierarchy of importance starting with Hearing and ending with Astronomy. We’re incredibly indebted to the Greeks, Romans, and the Egyptians.
