About Freemasonry

A mythical past. A visionary future. A legendary brotherhood.

Freemasonry is the largest, oldest, and best-known gentleman’s fraternity in the world. Historically, it is based on the Medieval stonemason guilds who built the great castles and cathedrals of Europe. Mythologically it is founded upon the building of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem, as told in the Old Testament of the Bible.

King Solomon was considered to be the wisest and most just man in history, and the temple he had built to God was said to be the holiest place on Earth. Modern Freemasons likewise use the tools, traditions and terminology of those Biblical stonemasons as allegories for building Temples in the hearts of men, using Solomon as our ideal example of wisdom, justice and faith.

At its core, Freemasonry is simply an attempt to make the world a better place, one man at a time. For each man, it can become as simple or as complicated as he himself desires.

It’s said that we are a secret society. We do indeed have secrets—secrets that each individual man has to discover for and about himself.

It’s not for everybody. It never has been and was never meant to be. That’s the point.

Maybe it’s for you. How to join.

Our History

Mississauga Lodge was instituted on September 30th, 1914. The first application for membership was received in October of that year. The Lodge was dedicated and consecrated on September 23, 1915.

The Lodge name, “Mississauga”, was chosen in memory of the original inhabitants of the area.
