Worshipful MasterSeemingly out of date by today's norm, this title was originally used ~300 years ago when Freemasonry was first born. It is an old-English term used to recognize the leader of the Lodge. The Master "sits in the East" where he directs the priorities of the Lodge and coordinates its duties. All Lodge members volunteer their time.

Lodge officersThe Master is supported by Wardens, Deacons and Stewards. The duties of each officer are well outlined; each officer contributes a special part to Masonic ritual and tradition. Lodge officers are either elected or appointed to their positions. We use a progressive line; officers progress through the positions in the Lodge until serving as the Master lasts for one year. |
The TuxedoThe simple black tuxedo is the official uniform of the Master and the Officers of the Lodge for meetings and other official events.
Members of the Lodge who are not an officer wear a sport coat-tie or a suit to meetings. We wear formal atire out of respect for the important work that we are engaged and in conformity with the ~300 year old tradition of Freemasonry. |
The ApronWe wear aprons because we cook.
No actually that was a joke; the apron, square and compasses are just a few of the many symbols used to teach the principles of Freemasonry. Symbolism and the process of understanding each symbol's meaning is a very enjoyable part of being a Freemason. |
