In Ohio, Masons support the Ohio Masonic Home at Springfield, where more than 467 elderly Masons, their wives and widows reside with 128 living in the Retirement Village and 339 in health care units. All of these programs are made possible by the individual generosity of Masonic members. Applicants must be men of good character who believe in a Supreme Being. To become a Mason one must petition a particular Lodge. The Master of the Lodge appoints a committee to visit the applicant prior to the Lodge balloting upon his petition.
Masons are men of good character who strive to improve themselves and make the world a better place.
They belong to the oldest and most honorable fraternity known to man. If you think you may be interested in becoming a member, you can begin by contacting a Lodge in your area or speaking to a Mason. Please read it.
