Book of the Month
The Mission of Freemasonry is to:
Be a quality organization that provides its members opportunities to
develop their spiritual, character, and leadership potential;
Be serviceable to our members and their families by providing support
and assistance in a variety of forms;
Provide members and their families with opportunities for fellowship and
friendship with other like-minded individuals;
Be serviceable to the community at large by Lodge participation in civic
and charitable activities; and through the honest, fair and courteous
actions of individual members.
Freemasonry in Missouri shall be:
A preeminent organization for men of quality, regardless of race,
religion, or creed; consistently delivering, by symbols, allegory and
example, a moral code founded on the highest standards of ethics,
honesty and strength of character.
A fraternal organization committed to charity, true fellowship and
brotherly love under the Fatherhood of God; and
A relevant organization dedicated to gratifying, involving and educating
members and their families in the community, where the Lodge is a
vibrant, respected and contributing part of community life.
The organization must be committed to excellence, to maintaining quality
programs and the quality use of time, and to forging alliances within
the community designed both to help the community and to develop the
character of Masons.
A man who becomes a Missouri Mason can expect to find in his fraternity
the opportunity to learn and lead; to be inspired and entertained; to be
challenged and respected; to be involved with his family, his Brothers
and his community; and to be a proud member of an organization committed
to making a difference.
This Quote is from the George Washington Masonic National Memorial
Freemasonry is kindness in the home; honesty in business; courtesy toward others; dependability in one's work; compassion for the unfortunate; resistance to evil; help for the weak; concern for good government; support for public education; and above all, a life-practicing reverence for God and love of fellow man.
It encourages good citizenship and political expression but is not a political organization. Its charitable activities are manifold, yet, it is not a welfare or benefit organization.
Fifty years ago, a prominent Freemason referred to our Gentle Craft as "an organized association of men, symbolically applying the principles of operative Masonry and architecture to the science and art of character building." That observance was true in l937 as it is just as true today.
Twenty-two words establish the most important prerequisite to becoming a Mason. " . . . We receive none, knowingly, into our ranks who are not moral and upright before God and of good repute before the world."
