LEARN MORE ABOUT UTAH MASONS

WHO ARE MASONS

Masons are Men, aged 18 or older, who want to be part of something bigger than themselves without losing their sense of individuality. Utah Masons are a group of good men with tight fraternal bonds.

We are men of good character who value personal decency and personal responsibility. We're committed to expanding our knowledge of the world around us. We study philosophic truths from many cultures.

We are believing men, but Masonry is not a religion. Men from any religion can join and find the basic principles that are common to all faiths and beliefs.

`WHAT IS FREEMASONRY`

Have you ever wondered, "What is Freemasonry?", or why so many great men throughout history have been Freemasons?

Freemasonry is an ancient initiatic order. It is a beautiful system of morals, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols.

The symbols and the lessons they teach aid each Mason in coming to his own conclusions to life's important questions. Thus, some Masons are concerned with charity and philanthropy, some with fraternity, and others with philosophy.

One idea that all Masons accept is that Freemasonry, itself, is large enough to accommodate each kind of Mason. The diversity of Freemasonry is its strength.

We are all bound together by our endeavors to polish and adorn our minds, bodies, and spirit in our pursuit of more light.

Interested? We can help you on your path.

`WHAT WE DO`

We better ourselves. The purpose of Masonry is to provide good men with the tools to make themselves even better, and we know that if we are better men, we can make a better world.

We are Utah Masons, working to make good men better.

The mission of Freemasonry in Utah is to teach and perpetuate a way of life that promotes brotherhood, self-improvement through education, high moral standards, charitable action, and community involvement.

`WHEN WE DO IT`

The Regular Meeting of Gateway Lodge No.29 is on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm (Except for Jul and Aug).

Please arrive early to join us for our Fellowship Dinner that begins at 6:30 pm.

`WHERE WE DO IT`

We hold our meetings at the Clearfield Masonic Lodge building, located at:

452 East 700 South, Clearfield, Utah 84015-1716

`WHY SHOULD I JOIN`

Because you'd be welcome here, and because a lot of us feel like we are not as well informed, or compassionate, or trusting as we should be in life. We work being better at those things, and it is much easier when you're around other good people. We rely on each other. This is a place where men of all faiths and means come together at the same level, as brothers. We come from all walks of life and meet as equals.

With any group, you get from it, what you put into it, and that's especially true with Masonry.

`HOW DO I JOIN`

You don't need to be invited. The only way to become a Freemason is to ask a Freemason. This process is as old as the fraternity itself and ensures that the individual seeking membership is doing so of his own desire and of his own free will.

You can ask any Mason that you may know, Don't know a Mason, contact us and we will put you in touch with a Mason that will be glad to meet with you, and will assist you: Our Motto: to be one, ask one. 2B1ASK1

`WILL IT FIT INTO MY SCHEDULE`

Masonry is rooted in the past but IN SYNC with the modern pace of life. These days, it seems none of us has enough time. We get that, which is why we get together in lots of different ways. We have regular meetings, but we also respect busy lives when it comes to scheduling events, parties, and activities, Come find your niche.

We value individuality. You set the pace that you engage in Masonry. We don't have a strict schedule for you to follow. Each member forges his own path within the larger practice of Freemasonry.

`CAN MY FAMILY PARTICIPATE`

Yes! This organization provides opportunities in our Masonic Family for our wives and children, each group has their own specific membership requirements:

Order Of The Eastern Star: Adults, Open to Ladies with specific Masonic affiliation, and Master Masons.
Order of DeMolay: Youth group for young men between the ages of 12 to 21.
Job's Daughters International: Youth group for young ladies between the ages of 10 to 20. (Jobie-2-Bee Program: Ages 7 to 9).

We have a great time with our friends and we bring our families along. Often we combine family events and charitable activities, so we can have some fun and do some good at the same time. Do something great for yourself and for your family.

`HOW IS MASONRY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GROUPS`

Ancient Relevance: Freemasonry is a craft for making good men better, and today's generation is seeking exactly what we have to offer: direction and purpose.

Our practices are done with an eye toward relevance, especially to the unique perspective of today's man. We come from all walks and stations of life and meet as equals. A core tenant of being a better man is caring about what goes on around you. We believe in improving ourselves along with improving our communities.

Masonry is an organization for the ages.

Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest Fraternity. Our history and tradition date back 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 throughout the centuries.

Is Freemasonry right for you?
