Depending upon where you live, you may want to contact a Mason in that state. Prince Hall Lodges can extend invitations to all men, of sound mind and body, at least 18 years of age, who believe in God, and are of good character and repute. Although Prince Hall is predominantly composed of African-Americans, we are open to all races and religious beliefs. If you reside in Belgium or Maryland and would like more information on Prince Hall Freemasonry, please feel free to send us your request to Willard W. Allen Lodge # 108 at wwa108@yahoo.com if you reside in Belgium. If you reside in Maryland send us your request to Emanuel J. Stanley at emanuelstanley@yahoo.com. Be sure to note that you are a Non-Mason, an address if you want us to mail you literature, and any specific questions.


Interested in joining? Here is some basic information which should address the question: "Where do I go from here?" What is SO often misunderstood is a simple fact: there are few but important requirements to become a Freemason! While they are stated in slightly different words in various jurisdictions (and a few jurisdictions may have one or two requirements beyond these), they basically are as follows:
These basic principles have been the means of attracting the most highly respected persons to Masonry for over three centuries. Their simplicity confounds and confuses those who see a conspiracy lurking behind every bush; those who want 'religious purity' and those whose own motives are constantly self-oriented. As a result, this quiet fraternity continues - as do its detractors.

If you answered "YES"
you should consider becoming a Mason.

Freemasonry offers much to its members -- the opportunity to grow, the chance to make a difference, to build a better world for our children. It offers the chance to be with and work with men who have the same values and ideals -- men who have answered "YES" to these questions.

It's easy to find out more. Just find a Mason and ask him about Masonry. You probably know several Masons. Perhaps you've seen the Square and Compasses like the one below on a pin or tack or bumper sticker. If you know where the lodge is in your community, stop by and ask for the secretary of the lodge. He'll be happy to help you.

We'd like a chance to talk with you.

If you know a man who is a Mason, ask him! We suspect that you'll both be glad that you did! In many parts of the world, Masons wear jewelry which makes them easily identifiable.
