Welcome

  This site is here for you to learn more about Masons and Eastern Star   and for Brethren to keep in touch with the lodge.

Who Are The Masons?

Freemasons are a unique organization that has been a major part of community life in America for over 250 years.  It is America's largest and oldest fraternity and one that continues to be an important part of many men's personal lives.

Have you ever considered becoming a Mason?

Freemason has included members who are Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Statesmen, Generals, Admirals, Supreme Court Chief Justices, corporate CEO's, opera stars, movie stars, and probably your next door neighbor. Masonry is always ready to welcome good men into the Fraternity, It is ready to welcome YOU if can wholeheartedly answer "yes" to a few Questions

1) Do you believe in a higher power (God)?

2)Do you believe that man has a responsibility to act honorably?

3)Are you willing to be tolerant of others beliefs (religious, social, and political)?

4)Do you believe that it is more rewarding to give without any other reward then that you have helped someone in need so that their life can go on?

5)Do you believe that there is more to life then financial success?

6)Do you believe that you have a moral duty to be a good citizen and true to the country in which you  live in so long as freedom, equality, and opportunity for human development is afforded to all? 

If yes is the answer to all these questions, then we want like you to become a mason. To get a petition please contact us at the address below.

Who is The Eastern Star?

The Order of the Eastern Star is a fraternal organization to which both men and women can belong. The men must be Master Masons before they can belong to Eastern Star; the women must be related to a Master Mason to be eligible for membership.

An Eastern Star chapter checks the prospective member's character and
reputation, seeking to elect by unanimous vote only those persons with high mental, moral and spiritual qualities and who will work in harmony with the other members towards attaining its purposes.

Eastern Star was founded using Biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values. These examples depict the principles that are expected from their members - fidelity, constancy, loyalty, faith and love. The members are dedicated to Charity, Truth and Loving Kindness.

Eastern Star is not a religion or a church, but its members have deep religious convictions and spiritual values. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members in wholesome relationships of love in our daily lives, endearing us to each other.

Eastern Star membership is open to all religious faiths. Only those with no faith are ineligible for membership.

Minnesota chapters support Minnesota Masonic Homes and the Masonic Cancer Center with both volunteers and monetary donations. The Order, overall, contributes financially to support Cancer research, Arthritis Fund, Heart Fund, Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children, educational scholarships, etc. Local projects include support of abused women and children shelters, libraries, Ronald McDonald House, emergency personnel, among other worthy projects chosen by the chapter.

A special, Eastern Star-only, project is ESTARL (Eastern Star Training Awards for Religious Leadership). These non-denominational scholarships are usually given in amounts of $500 to $1,500 and are available to deserving college students at the sophomore level or above. The students must be preparing for religious service as ministers, missionaries, music ministries, or other specialized fields of religious endeavor and must be sponsored by an Eastern Star chapter in Minnesota. Though it is not necessary for applicants to have Masonic background, our applicants must be residents of Minnesota. This project is self-supporting and does not receive money from any other funds but depends upon chapter contributions, memorials and special gifts.
