Charity

 


Lodges continue to raise cash for Local, National and International Charities

Charity is one of the three fundamental principles on which Freemasonry is based. The other two being friendship and integrity.

Shown below is a very small selection of recent donations by Lodges and other Masonic groups in the Province. Freemasons are not secretive, but they do tend to hide their light under a bushel! Sadly, most such donations go unreported.
