Joining Freemasonry
Freemasonry is the one of the world's oldest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organisations. We always welcome new members who wish to join and become a Freemason. We have Lodges that meet in the Masonic Hall in Molesworth Street, Dublin 2, and also one that meets in Dalkey.
Why become a Freemason?
Every Freemason has his own reason for joining. For many, Freemasonry acts as a 'constant', providing them with a unique combination of friendship, belonging and structure, with many Freemasons saying they have made valuable lifelong friendships.
