Our Freemasons of Minot, ND belong to the Blue Lodge of the Star in the West #33 of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free & Accepted Masons of North Dakota
Freemasonry is the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. Many of the founding fathers of this nation were Masons, including thirteen signers of the Constitution. Fourteen U.S. Presidents were Brother Masons beginning with George Washington.
Over 4 Million of us in the U.S., coming from diverse ethnic, religious, vocational, and political backgrounds, continue to build this fraternity on the cornerstones of friendship, benevolence, and self-improvement.
The Masonic Lodge is the basic organizational unit of Freemasonry. The Lodge meets regularly to conduct the usual formal business of any small organization (pay bills, organize social and charitable events, elect new members, etc.).
In addition to business, the meeting may perform a ceremony to confer a Masonic degree or receive a lecture, which is usually on some aspect of Masonic history or ritual.
