Freemasonry is the largest, oldest, and best-known gentleman's fraternity in the world.  Historically, it is based on the Medieval stonemason guilds who built the great castles and cathedrals of Europe.  Mythologically it is founded upon the building of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, as told in the Old Testament of the Bible.    

King Solomon was considered to be the wisest and most just man in history, and the temple he had built to God was said to be the Holiest place on Earth.  Modern Freemasons likewise use these tools, traditions, and terminology of the Biblical stonemasons as allegories for building Temples in the hearts of men, using Solomon as our ideal example of wisdom, justice and faith.    

At its core, Freemasonry is simply an attempt to make the world a better place, one man at a time.  For each man, it can become as simple or as complicated as he himself desires.    

It's said that we are a secret society.  We do indeed have secrets - secrets that each individual man has to discover for and about himself.    

It's not for everybody.  It never has been and was never meant to be.  That's the point.    

Maybe it's for you!  

The first regular meeting for St. George Lodge No.243 was held on December 27, 1870. The lodge received its Charter in 1871. It was officially dedicated by the Grand Master, the Most Worshipful Bro. J. Seymour on January 25, 1872. This meeting was attended by a number of other Grand Lodge officers, and a great many visiting brethren from the surrounding area with a total attendance of 150. 

The year 2021 marks the 150th Anniversary for St. George Lodge No.243. 

Unfortunately, since March 2020 the entire world has been devastated with the Corona Virus.
Therefore, we are not able to celebrate this historical moment until we can all gather again.
