My grandfather was a mason and now, I'm almost 55, am I too old to join myself? I know it takes years to go though the process but I'm not sure what the protocol is as far as joining. Is it by invitation or do I simply go to the nearest lodge and ask?
Michael, you are not too old to petition for masonry. Age alone is not a determining factor. Physical or mental infermity may cause rejection simply because of the physical and mental requirements of completing the degrees. If your mind and body are intact, there should be no problem with your age.
The "process" only takes as long as you make it. I have seen brothers go from petition to Master Mason in 6 months. This is rather unusual, but not impossible. The norm is usually 1-2 years, depending on how good your memory is and how often you meet with your teacher. To join, all you have to do is ask a Master mason for a petition, complete it and turn it in. The lodge will start the process after that. I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner. Take care and stay safe.
Greeting Brethern

I think this is real cool that we as brothers have a special place to go and talk with other masons. Just to brag a little my oldest boy is joining this great organization plus he is a member of fire nation so wish him well he's name is Jeremy Cheesman
Fraternal Greetings to all my brothers out there.... Coming to you from Lakeshore Fire Rescue Station 1, Lakeshore ON. and out of St. andrews Lodge 642 AF & AM in Windsor On......
I was directed to this site when I first started looking at rings. They are very well priced. The gold fired rings however will turn back to silver after a while.
I became a member of Oklahoma Lodge # 4 in Atoka, OK, in February, 1974. Currently in the West. I am always in awe of the degree teams, as my memory is not all that good.
im gonna be in dallas TX! for a couple days is there any dallas firefighter freemasons that i could hook up with maybe see the fire house and even better the lodge
