BALMORAL LODGE NO. 185 G.R.A.
Freemasonry in St. Albert
Welcome to
Balmoral Lodge
Freemasonry holds different meanings for each member. To some, it signifies belonging to one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal, and charitable organizations that encompass all segments of society. For others, it represents camaraderie, the opportunity to forge new friendships, and a timeless brotherhood. However, for most, Freemasonry embodies a way of life. Members are expected to uphold high moral standards, as Freemasonry presents itself as a avenue for self-discovery, service to humanity, and the comprehension of the Brotherhood of Man through participation in a series of degree ceremonies.
Brotherly Love
Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures.
Relief
Freemasons are taught to practice charity and to care – not only for their own – but also for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals.
Truth
Freemasons strive for truth, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own lives.
