WHAT FREEMASONRY IS
Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest Fraternity. It's history and tradition date to antiquity. Its singular purpose is to make good men better. Its bonds of friendship, compassion and brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military and religious conflicts through the centuries. Free masonry is neither a place for worship. Instead, it is a friend of all religions which are based on the belief in one god.
WHO FREEMASONS ARE
Many of our nation's early patriots were Freemasons, as well as thirteen signers of the Constitution and fourteen Presidents of the United States, beginning with George Washington. Today, the more then four million Freemasons around the world come from virtually every profession. Within the Fraternity, however, they all meet as equals. They come from diverse politic ideologies, but they meet as friends. They come from virtually every religious belief, but they all believe in one God.
WHAT FREEMASONS BELIEVE IN
All Freemasons believe in one God and respect for each other.
WHAT FREEMASONS DO
Freemasons are
respectable citizens who are taught to conform to the moral laws of
society and to abide by the laws of the government under which they
live. They are men of charity and good works. They remain unchallenged
as "the worlds greatest philanthropy!" These services to mankind
represent an unparalleled example of the humanitarian commitment and
concern of this unique and honorable Fraternity.
- TheFreemasons of America contribute more than $2 million dollars
every day to charitable causes.
- Montezuma Lodge sponsors college scholarships each year to
deserving Santa Fe area students. Through the office at Montezuma Lodge,

to help Santa Fe area residents with eye problems who could not otherwise
afford the cost.
