Our Lodge
Norfolk Lodge, established in 1874, meets on the second Monday of every month from September to June. The Lodge is located on 1101 Highland Avenue in Needham, Massachusetts.
 About Masonry Freemasonry is the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. With lodges in almost every country, you can travel almost any place in the world and find the warm hand of brotherhood extended to you. In the U.S. alone, there are over 13,000 lodges. Most small towns have a lodge, and large cities usually have several. Masonry as we know it today, most likely grew out of the guilds of operative stonemasons in Europe who built the castles and cathedrals of the middle ages. Several of the Founding Fathers in the United States were Freemasons, for example George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. What Masons do Masons are moral, honest men who work together to improve themselves and their communities. Freemasons in North America contribute on average around 2 million dollars every single day of the year to various charities. Masons are responsible for collecting more than 80% of the blood collected by the Red Cross in Massachusetts. The Child ID program (CHIP), which reaches thousands of children each year, is operated by Masons. There are currently around 6 million Freemasons in the world; about 2 million of those are in the United States. The goal of Freemasonry is to enhance and strengthen the character of the individual man by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, education, and leadership based on the three ancient Masonic tenets; Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. Do You Want to be a Mason? Any man, regardless of color, religion, income, nationality or social standing, who is 18 years of age or older and of good moral character, who comes well-recommended, and who believes in a Supreme Being may become a Freemason.
