- Freemasons' Hall, 23A Coleman Street, Singapore
Freemasons are a unique members’ organisation that has thrived for over 300 years. Having no political or religious affiliations, we comprise members of all ages (18+), races, religions, cultures and backgrounds. We meet in our individual Lodges throughout the world where we have ceremonial traditions which encourage us both to be more tolerant, respectful and to actively fulfill our civic and charitable responsibilities; we also make time to eat, drink and meet, forming lifelong friendships.
To attract those from all backgrounds and walks of life, enabling individuals to develop into more thoughtful and confident people. To inspire and challenge individuals to practice the core values we celebrate – Integrity, Friendship, Respect, Charity – in their private and public lives. To cement our reputation as a force for good in our communities and society at large and as a thriving organisation that people aspire to join.
Rather than working on architecture and construction of buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity.
As one of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
With a membership of more than 6million globally, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry. The organisation provides a support structure that helps members make positive contributions to communities and worthwhile causes through fundraising events or volunteer work.
Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding.
Freemasons are taught to practice charity and to care, not only for their own but also for the community, both by charitable giving and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals as well as a Lodge.
Freemasons strive for truth, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own lives. Freemasons believe that these principles represent a way of achieving higher moral standards in life.
