Visitor's Information

 
First, we would like to welcome every Brother who wishes to visit our Lodge.
 
There are some things that you need to be aware that when visiting a Pennsylvania Lodge if you are from another jurisdiction.   In Pennsylvania, you are required to have a current Dues Card or receipt, a Travel Certificate, or other proof of membership, and currently be in good standing with your Lodge.
 
If none of our members can vouch for you, the Tyler of the Lodge will arrange for a committee to meet with you in the Examining Room to verify your credentials and claims that you are a Mason. You should be prepared to prove your Masonic membership in an appropriate manner, although there is no specific ritualistic form that you should follow.  Our meetings start at 7:00 p.m., so give yourself plenty of time for an examination should you expect to need one.
 
Dress Code:  We provide courtesy aprons for members and visitors, but you are most welcome to wear your traditional formal Masonic dress when visiting. Our minimum dress code for members and visitors only requires a suit coat and tie.  Lodge officers however, wear tails, or tuxedo, and bowtie.
 
You will probably find that if you come from another Masonic Jurisdiction, our ritual may be very different from what you have seen in your Lodge.  You can learn more about these differences at this Grand Lodge web site.
 
You are also encouraged to contact the Lodge before you visit.  Please see our Contacts page for telephone numbers or e-Mail addresses.
