In order to become a member of this ancient and honorable fraternity a man must, among other requirements, be at least 18 years of age, of good moral character, a law-abiding citizen, who believes in a Supreme Being that promotes peace, love, and harmony towards all mankind, more especially to a Brother Mason. Because a Mason cannot extend invitations to prospective members, nor are members solicited, any and all applicants must take the initiative of his own free will and accord and with an open heart. All petitions for membership must be vouched by two active Master Masons, preferably members of our Lodge, who do know the Petitioner and thus able to vouch for the Petitioner's character and recommend him for admission into our Craft.
