Our History
International Masons adheres to the ancient moral principles and landmarks of Freemasonry developed in England back in the 1700’s. Due to advancements in technology, information sharing, and societal norms; things were modified in order to remain current and allow us to offer modern benefits to our members and society as a whole.
Leadership
Our Fraternal Order is comprised of Masons, Eastern Stars, and Youth who serve in leadership roles on all levels. We have Supreme (National), National District (Regional), Grand (State) and Local Leaders who are responsible for providing guidance and leadership to the members within those Departments.
Conventions & Meetings
Members within their local Masonic Lodges, Order of the Eastern Star Chapters, or Youth Courts come together to meet regularly. They learn the principles of our Order and participate in local events/activities. We also have Supreme, National District, and Grand Conventions as well for members to attend and learn more.
