About Freemasonry
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest fraternal organization. It is a brotherhood of men dedicated to becoming better individuals through fellowship, moral development, and community service.
For centuries, Freemasonry has brought together men of good character who, though of different religious, ethnic, and social backgrounds, share a belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind.
Our Principles
The principles of Freemasonry are based on the three great tenets: Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. These form the foundation of our organization and guide our actions both within the lodge and in our communities.
Through our ceremonies and teachings, we strive to build character, instill moral values, and promote personal growth among our members.
Eureka Lodge Tradition
Eureka Lodge No. 16 has been an integral part of the Auburn community since 1854. Our lodge continues the rich traditions of Freemasonry while adapting to serve the needs of modern men seeking meaning and connection.
We welcome men of all backgrounds who seek to improve themselves and make a positive impact in their community.
