Becoming a Freemason is a personal decision – but it should never be made in isolation. The Craft asks for time, attention and a degree of personal commitment. It is therefore wise to discuss such a step openly with one’s partner or family and to ensure that their understanding and support are in place before applying for membership.

Freemasonry should complement, not compete with, other responsibilities. No Brother should allow his Masonic duties to interfere with his family life, his profession, or his existing commitments.

Our guiding order of priorities is simple and time-honoured:

Family – Vocation – Craft.

When lived in that balance, Freemasonry can enrich life rather than burden it.
