Our Values

Our core values are the underlying principles behind who we are, what we stand for, and what we do. They are vital to understanding Freemasonry.

INTEGRITY

Honesty, trustworthiness, honour, reliability, and conscientiousness form the foundation of a virtuous character. They foster trust, maintain integrity, and demonstrate commitment, ultimately leading to a life of strong principles and dependable actions.

FRIENDSHIP

Freemasonry gives members many opportunities to make a wide circle of friends for life who share common interests and values. It provides a bond of friendship and a sense of belonging. This promotes a feeling of enjoyment and fulfilment.

RESPECT

From its earliest days, Freemasonry has respected the beliefs of its members. It promotes an environment where diversity is valued. It is a space where different beliefs and backgrounds converge, fostering an atmosphere of inclusivity, tolerance and harmony.

Exploring Freemasonry

What is a Lodge and Its Officers?

Learn what a Masonic Lodge truly represents—more than just a building, it is a gathering place of brotherhood, purpose, and tradition. Each Lodge operates with a defined structure led by elected officers, each entrusted with responsibilities that uphold the integrity and rituals of Freemasonry.

From the Worshipful Master to the Junior Deacon, every officer plays a vital role in guiding ceremonies, fostering unity, and ensuring the Lodge serves both its members and the wider community.

Discover how these time-honoured roles continue to shape lives, inspire service, and reflect the timeless values of integrity, charity, and mutual respect.
