Southern California Lodge No. 529

Making true friends,
improving ourselves, having an impact

What is Masonry?

Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization.  It is guided by the enduring belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place.  For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world.

Our Mission and Our Lodge

Southern California Lodge No. 529 is a fraternity of like-minded men who strive to be better human beings through the practice of brotherly love, relief, and truth. We teach these principal Masonic values within the friendly, safe, and family oriented environment of the Lodge and apply them in our daily lives.

Rewards of Being a Freemason

Making True Friends

Masonry is a community of men and their families who share similar beliefs and values. The fraternity finds it important to connect with other men of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge, regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship, or national origin. We are friends and brothers, and are connected through this vital and uplifting organization of moral men.

Improving Ourselves

Our continuing pursuit of truth, knowledge, ethics and leadership skills makes us better men and brings more meaning to our lives. Learning the tenets of Freemasonry, paired with being an active part of our community give us the opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills, builds self-discipline through commitment and self-confidence.

Having an Impact

As Freemasons, member of the the Grand Lodge of California, and members of Southern California Lodge No. 529, we are part of a worldwide organization that values tradition, history, and timeless wisdom. The traditions and core values of our fraternity are meaningful today and will endure for centuries to come because of our direct impact in our community, through our charities, and on a personal level.

Join Us

Our membership is comprised of individuals from diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. We acknowledge that each individual has a unique set of skills. As such, we foster personal growth on an individual basis, neither demanding nor rejecting the efforts of each other. We have a deep love of God and country.
