Qualifications for Petitioning for Membership
In Illinois to be a Mason you must...
To become a Mason one must petition a particular Lodge. The Master of the Lodge appoints a committee to visit the applicant prior to the Lodge balloting, which must be unanimous upon his petition.
Freemasonry is proud of its philosophy and practice of “making good men better.” Only individuals believed to be of the finest character are favorably considered for membership.
The Initiation
Our ceremonies involve no hazing, horseplay, or physical mistreatment of any kind. Candidates find the initiation ritual a solemn, beautiful and moving experience. Every word is spoken from memory, as has been our practice from Masonry’s earliest days. The ritual itself has remained virtually unchanged for nearly three centuries. Finally, every man in the Lodge is a friend and will be a brother. For more information please email us at INFO@LANDMARKLODGE422.COM .
