Freemasonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization, based on the belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place. The fraternity originated in the Middle Ages with stonemasons who built castles and cathedrals.

Freemasonry today provides men with opportunities for fellowship, community service, philanthropy, and leadership. The Masons of California have more than 62,000 members and about 340 lodges located throughout the state.
