What is Masonry?
Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. It is guided by the enduring belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place. For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world. Learn more about Freemasonry at the Masons of California website.

Our mission
Welcome Lodge’s mission is to promote personal growth and improve the lives of others. We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and the community as a whole. We value respect, kindness, tolerance, and our differences – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, and educational, and strive for harmony in our individual lives, in our lodge, and in the global community.
We meet the first Thursday of each month at the Lemoore Masonic Temple located on Bush Street. As a lodge, we strive to be active in our community. We have various charitable and educational events throughout the year, as well as social occasions. Some events are for members only, but many include our families and friends.
Our Lodge
Established in 1879, is proud of it’s Masonic heritage of philanthropy and good will in the Lemoore community. On our roles we list the names of some of Lemoore’s finest citizens and we continue to provide good men with the philosophy and tools of self-improvement.
The Masonic family consist of the Lemoore fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of CA, and our concordant bodies; Lucerne Lake Ch. 13, Order of the Eastern Star (open to all Masons in good standing and selected female relatives of Master Masons), and our children’s groups; International Order of DeMolay (Boys) and Job’s Daughters, Bethel No. 288 (Girls).

MEMBERSHIP
Welcome Lodge membership is open to men 18 and older who meet the qualifications and standards of character and intention, and who believe in a Supreme Being. Men of all ethnic and religious backgrounds are welcome.
One of Freemasonry’s customs is not to solicit members – men must seek membership on their own initiative. Anyone is welcome to request information about the fraternity.
If you are interested in applying for membership to our lodge, now is a good time to start. Please contact us to schedule a visit during an event, or request more information.
