Becoming a Mason

To become a member of this ancient and honorable Fraternity, a man must apply of his own free will and accord and with an open heart. Invitations are not issued to prospective members, nor are members solicited. If a person is interested in joining, he should ask a Masonic friend or initiate contact at www.beafreemason.org. Additional background information can also be found at the Grand Lodge of Virginia website.

The requirements for membership are: that you be a man, one of good character and reputation, that you be a peaceful citizen, and one who guards against intemperance and excess, and that you are one who respects genuine brotherhood and general good of society. Freemasonry requires a belief in a Supreme Being.

Life Membership

Life Membership is a great way to support Widow’s Sons’ Lodge. Life membership is calculated by multiplying the current dues rate by 17 years. These funds are placed into an account, and a portion is drawn off to cover your dues - indefinitely. Each member of Widow’s Sons’, and the greater fraternity, is encouraged to obtain life membership. For more information regarding life membership and its benefits, please contact the lodge secretary.
