INTEGRITY

Rather than working on buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons
focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the
structure to help achieve that goal.

Explore


FRIENDSHIP

One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined
by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political
persuasions, and provides the common foundation for friendships between members,
many of which will last for life.

Explore


RESPECT

With a membership of more than 200,000 people drawn from communities across the
UK, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or
any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society

Explore


SERVICE

Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or
volunteering for public or community organisations, service is at the very heart
of Freemasonry. Our members make valuable contributions by donating time,
resources and skills.

WELCOME TO THE PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE OF EAST LANCASHIRE WEBSITE.

This site has been designed to provide an insight into Freemasonry and we
sincerely hope it will be of high interest to both Freemasons and non-Freemasons
alike.

Here you will find information on what it is to be a Freemason, our proud
history, how to join, what charitable works we’re involved with and coming
social events. For a more complete view of current news and events, plus the
views and opinions of our many members, please visit our social media pages.

You’re also welcome to contact us anytime if you have any queries.


PRE-SEASON MEETING WITH THE PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER

 The Provincial Grand Master has invited all Light Blue Brethren from all around
the Province, to join him at a meeting hosted by Old Mancunians with Mount Sinai
Lodge No. 3140 and sponsored by Manchester Level Club on Thursday 15th August at
Manchester Hall, 36 Bridge Street, Manchester, M3 3BT.

 

As well as meet and greet, the ProvGM will share his vision for the future of
the Province. There will also be a presentation of the 1st Degree Tracing board
by the Brethren of Manchester Level Club (MLC). But most importantly, there will
be a Q&A session with the ProvGM, for the members to ask questions and share
views and experiences.

them.

WHAT OUR BRETHREN SAY

The lessons taught have helped me in my personal life and my lodge brethren
continue to amaze me in their dedication to each other and our wider community.
I’m proud to be a Freemason and would recommend anybody who is curious to come
and enquire.

Gareth Baron

St Martin’s 2320

As a 20-year member I became a Mason because I believed I was joining men who
thought in a similar way to myself. Very true to a large extent, what I hadn’t
realised was that wherever you go when visiting you are immediately among
friends you had yet to meet.

.

Colin Smith
Grants 8825

Freemasonry is like being part of a fantastic story, you just want to learn more
and more. While doing so, you meet new friends, that will stay with you for the
rest of your life.

Andy Beaumont

Good Report 7370

Freemasonry is great way to make new friends and connect with old ones. It gives
you the chance grow as a person and share that knowledge with others. It’s more
than a brotherhood; it’s a family.

Andy Robson
Lodge of Union 268

Freemasonry has complimented and helped me to understand my journey in life.
I’ve also met new friends who will stay with me for the rest of my journey.

Sonny Welsh
Felicity 4365

But that’s only a very small part of the story. It’s not about why I joined, but
more about why I’ve stayed. I’ve stayed because I’ve seen with my eyes, and felt
with my heart, the love, care, friendship and support that Masons give each
other, not just within the framework of the Lodge Room or meetings, but in the
wider world. A better bunch of lads I’ve yet to find..

Roger Bowden
Knowsley 4661

Freemasonary is a guaranteed social life. It’s a great way to make new friends
and stay in touch with old ones. It’s the ability to grow as a person and extend
what has been learnt to others seeking similar growth…
