The absolute requirements for becoming a Mason
are:
- Be a man, at least 21 years old.
- Have belief in a Supreme Being (of any faith. No
particular religion or faith is required or
excluded. All are welcome.)
Also:
- You should be someone who does, or want to learn
to, enjoy the company of other men from all
different social classes, faiths, backgrounds,
races, countries, etc. Masonry is universal in
its ideals.
- If you are a family man, Masonry considers that
your family obligations come FIRST, so you must
be sure that:
- You have the time to participate (usually
two or three evenings/month at first for
meetings and instruction, and then at
least one evening per month for
meetings from then on -- often more if
you get involved in lodge activities.)
- you can afford the initiation fees and
the annual dues without hardship to
yourself or your family.
- You should be coming to Masonry "of your own
free will and accord", to learn to improve
yourself and to enjoy the company of other good
people, not because someone keeps pestering you
to join or because you think it will help you
"get ahead" in business.
To join, all you have to do ask a Mason:
- Preferably someone you know or at least who lives
or works nearby, or...
- If you think that don't know any Masons in your
area, you could post to the netnews group
alt.freemasonry and ask that anyone who lives in
your general area reply to you, or...
- You can call Royal Palm Lodge No. 100 at
(305) 247-7100 and/or contact a member of the
lodge.
- The person will give you a petition to
fill out.
- Answer all of the questions and then
return it to the person or go to the
Lodge and give it to a member or the
Secretary.
