Learn About Saint Cloud Freemasonry – Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Symbols allow people to communicate quickly, and to transcend language barriers. When you see a green light or a circle with a line through it, for example, you know what it means. Likewise, Masons use metaphors from geometry and the architecture of stonemasonry to inform their continuing pursuit of knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills.
Many men in modern and historical times are Masons. People like, George Washington, Nat King Cole, Benjamin Franklin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Buzz Aldrin, John Wayne, Steve Wozniak, Mark Twain, Jesse Jackson, John Elway, Harry Houdini, and many more!

To reflect their heritage, Masons wear aprons while in lodge, at certain public events, and at funerals to demonstrate their pride in the fraternity, and their lineage from stonemasons, who historically carried their tools in leather aprons. The square and compasses are the most widely known symbol of Masonry: When you see the symbol on a building, you know that Masons meet there.
As an organization we are politically and religiously neutral. Individual members can have their own beliefs as long as they aren’t atheistic or anarchical. If we were to associate with a particular political party or religion, we would not last. Because long term, times will change and so will popular beliefs. Think about how different religion and especially politics were over 300 years ago.
Another reason is, that members must choose to become a Mason of their own free will. We are entirely composed of people who, in their hearts, wanted to become a Freemason.
