Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania.

Charles M. Howell Lodge No. 496

How To Join

Freemasonry is the oldest Fraternal order in the world.  Many believe that you must be asked or invited to join.  This could not be farther from the truth.  You must come to Freemasonry of your own free will and accord.  You must ask to join, hence the motto 2 BE 1 ASK 1.  Once you have asked you will receive a petition,  which you must fill out honestly and truly. 

You must be male, 18 years of age, have a belief in a Supreme Being, and be of good moral character.   You must have a favorable opinion of Freemasonry, a desire for knowledge, and unsolicited by friends.
