About Freemasonry

 Freemasonry is the oldest and largest fraternal order in the world. Among the first lessons learned by every new Mason is the importance of the tenets of our Fraternity:  Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
Thus, as Masons, we “make good men better” through our charitable endeavors, which include, among other good works, visiting and aiding the sick, assisting the poor, and alleviating the distressed.  The uninitiated may have little idea of how much Freemasonry contributes to the improvement of the community.  Good Samaritan Lodge A.F. & A.M
