Welcome to Dallas Lodge No. 760

Making Good Men Better since 1895

 

We are a proud and storied member of the fraternity of Freemasons in Dallas, Texas.  For more than 125 years, each generation of Dallas Lodge No. 760 has devoted itself to the central principles of the Craft: Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.  Freemasonry extols the virtues of human kindness, freedom of thought, religious tolerance, and personal integrity. 

Life is a path and, as with any human endeavor, meaning is where you find it.  Happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction come from choosing one's path wisely.  Our personal choices are made easier if we can rely on fellow travelers.  Freemasonry’s goal is to choose traveling companions of good character.  We do not seek to make bad men good, but to make good men better.  Masons strive for personal growth and to benefit their families and their communities, centering around the concepts of philosophy, philanthropy, and fraternity.

Ultimately, the purpose of becoming a Freemason is a deeply personal decision, and individuals may have different reasons for joining based on their own interests, beliefs, and goals.

What is a Masonic lodge?

A Masonic lodge is a local organization of Freemasons, typically meeting in a specific location, often called a lodge room. It serves as the basic unit of Freemasonry, where members gather to conduct their meetings, ceremonies, and socialize. The primary functions of a Masonic lodge include initiating new members, conducting rituals, discussing philosophical and moral topics, and organizing charitable activities and community service projects. Lodges also provide a sense of fellowship and camaraderie among members, fostering personal growth, moral development, and a sense of belonging to a larger community.

To become a member of a Masonic lodge, one must be of good character and express a belief in the existence of God, the immortality of the soul, and accept some expression of divine law. In Texas, the minimum age is eighteen. Masonry is non-sectarian and has no religious dogmas. We do not question any member about what form his beliefs take; only that he have them, for the principle tenet of the fraternity is that it is upon such beliefs that a moral life must be constructed.

We tell no one what to think, but we expect that each man's path should be guided toward the light and that it respect the ideals of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

As with any human endeavor, meaning is where you find it. Some brothers are more drawn to our rituals and the lessons they provide; some to our education programs; others more to charitable activities. All of them are drawn to the fellowship the fraternity provides. Within its bounds, we are brothers. No differences of income, class, race, religion, or politics come between us. We journey life's paths in different ways, but always together.

Why join Freemasonry?

Embark on the sublime journey of light and knowledge: Freemasonry beckons the seeking soul to traverse the winding path of morality, veiled in allegory, and illustrated by symbols. Each step, each degree, is a harmonious orchestration of wisdom and virtue, teaching the initiate to sculpt his rough ashlars into perfect forms. By participating in these rituals and studying Masonic philosophy, members can deepen their understanding of themselves, their place in the world, and their relationship to the divine. Freemasonry offers a pathway to explore the mysteries of the universe, unveiling hidden truths through symbolic rituals and teachings.

Unite in fraternal bonds, where brethren meet as equals: Within the sacred precincts of the lodge, the initiate finds a sanctuary, a temple of peace and harmony. Here, amidst the pillars of wisdom, strength, and beauty, he is welcomed as a brother, embraced by the timeless fraternity that transcends boundaries of race, creed, or worldly distinction. Regardless of their background, social status, or occupation, Freemasons meet on the level, meaning that they are all considered equal in the lodge. Freemasonry emphasizes the bonds of brotherhood, uniting individuals in a common pursuit of enlightenment. Joining Freemasonry is a pledge to walk alongside fellow seekers, sharing knowledge and wisdom to illuminate the path towards greater understanding and unity.
