Why I’m Proud to be a Freemason
Through its teachings, Freemasonry focuses on making good men better.
As our lessons are shared from brother to brother,
men become better fathers, and families and communities grow stronger.

“I am proud to be a Mason and shall always be happy to number myself
among those who uphold those cardinal principles
and moral standards of life that are so needed
if our organization is to continue on the high level
that has been its character from its inception.”
Earnest L. Hudson, Jr.
Training & Development Strategist
“I couldn’t imagine my life without the disciplinary practice of the principles
which Freemasonry espouses. There is a subtle joy,
derived from the lifelong developing ability to interpret life through
the signs, symbols, and allegories of Masonry, which undercuts
my conscience life. Within that joy, there is an immense satisfaction
that I share this unique experience with a wide and varied group
of men from all over the world.”
Michael A. Hernandez
State Senate Aide
Freemasonry has been, and continues to be an important part of my personal
and professional life. At an individual level, the virtues espoused by the Fraternity
are a constant reminder that I must hold myself to a higher standand than
that of my peers. Understanding that when I speak, and act I speak
not only for myself, but I am for others a representative of the
Fraternity as a whole. In this way I help to ensure that the reputation
and character, of not only myself, but also the Masonic
Fraternity remains unsullied.”
Benjamin Franklin
Ambassador/Founding Father
“I’ve discovered that I was not searching for some particular religious creed that would set me apart from other people. I was in fact discovering some great principles that would enable me to live life at its very best. Principles like faith…hope…charity…wisdom… beauty… truth. I would discover that there is a universal love and respect for all persons of all religious creeds and beliefs. While Masonry has never been a religion for me, it has set before me some very high moral and ethical standards that have supported my religious beliefs.”
