Freemasonry
in Cairns
Freemasonry
in Cairns and district is administered
through the District Grand Lodge of Carpentaria,
holden under the United Grand Lodge of
Queensland.
There are
some 27 Freemason's Lodges in the district
along with other associated orders such as
the Order of the Eastern Star which is open
to women.
Joining
Freemasonry
If you
are considering joining Freemasonry and
would like to know more about the Order
simply submit the form in the What is Freemasonry on District
Grand Lodge of Carpentaria web-page and
they will contact you to discuss your
questions.
It is
important to note that joining Freemasonry
will require a personal commitment of your
time. Each Lodge meets formally once per
month, and informally once per month. All
members of the Lodge are expected to attend
the formal regular monthly meeting.
It is
also important to note that the purpose of
Freemasonry is moral and spiritual
improvement, not the gaining of any material
advantage. Freemasonry is not a benefit
society, nor a secret society.
