Sotoyome-Curtis
Lodge 123

Making true friends, improving ourselves,

and having an impact

 

What is Freemasonry?

Freemasonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization and is a self-improvement, volunteer association that teaches moral, intellectual, and spiritual lessons through three initiation ceremonies. It’s three degrees are modeled after a craftsman’s progress: Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason.  It is guided by the enduring belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place.  For over 300 years, it has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within themselves and the world.

 

Our Mission and Our Lodge

Sotoyome-Curtis Lodge’s mission is to promote personal growth and improve the lives of others.  We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and the community as a whole.  We value respect, kindness, tolerance, and our differences – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, and educational, and strive for harmony in our individual lives, in our lodge, and in the global community.

As a lodge, we strive to be active in our community. We have various charitable and educational events throughout the year, as well as social occasions. Some events are for members only, but many include our families.

 

Rewards of Being a Freemason

Making True Friends

Masonry is a community of men and their families who share similar beliefs and values. The fraternity finds it important to connect with other men of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge, regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship, or national origin. We are friends and brothers, and are connected through this vital and uplifting organization of moral men.

 

Improving Ourselves

Our continuing pursuit of truth, knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills makes us better men and brings more meaning to our lives. Learning the tenets of Freemasonry, paired with being an active part of our community, gives us the opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills, and builds self-discipline through commitment and self-confidence.

 

Having an Impact

As a member of the Freemasons, the Grand Lodge of California, and Sotoyome-Curtis Lodge No. 123, we are a part of a worldwide organization that values tradition, history, and timeless wisdom. The traditions and core values of our fraternity are meaningful today and will endure for centuries to come because of our direct impact in our community, through our charities, and on a personal level.

 

Join Us

Sotoyome-Curtis Lodge membership is open to men 18 and older who meet the qualifications and standards of character and intention, and who believe in a Supreme Being.  Men of all ethnic and religious backgrounds are welcome.
