Mentoring Program

Mentor a Young Mason!
From the months of May to August of 2020, we are looking for Master Masons in our Lodge to volunteer to mentor some of our newer members!
One of the great assets of our Fraternity is our intergenerational membership! With young men joining all the time (and even not-so-young men becoming members), we have many knowledgeable Masons who can mentor our newest Brethren.
If you are interested in helping make this mentoring program happen, please let WM John Klocke know via our contact page or by emailing hallsvillelodge336@gmail.com.

For those Master Masons interested in learning about the Constitution and By-Laws of Missouri Freemasonry, below is a link to a PDF copy of the document.
Become A Mason
The privileges of Freemasonry are no greater than the responsibilities of its votaries. In asking Masonry to share with you its past, present and future, and all the privileges of its brotherhood, you must bear in mind that certain things are expected of you.
Remember:
(a) The calling of a Freemason is eminently honorable. Never suffer yourself to derogate from it.
(b) Loyalty to home, country and to the Fraternity is expected at all times.
(c) Patriotism is a bounden duty, and you should not countenance disloyalty or rebellion.
(d) Masonry stands for liberty, equality and fraternity — not only for Masons, but for ALL MANKIND.
(e) Freedom of thought, speech, and action is the watchword of Freemasonry, so far as it is not incompatible with the same rights on the part of others.
(f) That, in a like manner, every Freemason is the enemy of ignorance, bigotry, oppression, superstition, and all mental and spiritual darkness.
(g) Freemasonry champions the cause of the widow, the fatherless, the weak, and the oppressed; and challenges and arbitrary assumption by anyone of the power to dictate the actions, beliefs and destinies of any group or individual.
(h) The time honored virtues so cherished by our forefathers are still the accepted practice and foundation of confident relationships among Masons. and humility. patience, charity, and gentleness are among the hallmarks of purity and integrity of character.
