FREEMASONS & CHARITY
|
|
The Three Grand Principles of Freemasonry are Brotherly Love (friendship), Relief (charity) and Truth (integrity).
Charity is, therefore, one of the three great pillars which support the fraternity. But how is this manifested?
From its earliest days, Freemasonry has been concerned with the care of orphans, the sick and the aged.
Freemasons are taught to practise charity and to care, not only for one another but also for the community as a whole both by charitable giving and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals. Masonic charity ranges from buying a birthday gift for the widow of a deceased member to supporting disaster relief agencies in their work in times of need.
