Timeless values
At Hiram Lodge #25 F&AM, our heritage is rooted in California's Gold Rush era. For more than 170 years, we have brought good men together to build character, foster fellowship, and serve our communities through the foundational tenets of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
Brotherhood and meeting on the level
True fraternity requires mutual respect. Known among Masons as meeting on the level, our members regard each other as genuine equals regardless of background, wealth, or worldly position. In keeping with the traditions of the Grand Lodge of California, we welcome men of good character from diverse walks of life who share a belief in a Supreme Being and a commitment to personal integrity.
Relief, charity, and civic duty
Compassion is central to the Masonic life. From supporting local schools and youth groups to participating in broader philanthropic initiatives like the Masonic Homes of California, our brethren translate empathy into tangible service. We carry forward the resilient community spirit established by California's early pioneers in 1853 to uplift our neighbors today.
Moral integrity and pursuit of truth
Freemasonry teaches that living by high ethical standards and practicing the Golden Rule are vital to building honorable character. Through Masonic education, symbolism, and mutual encouragement, we seek to become better husbands, fathers, brothers, and citizens. If you are curious about our principles or have questions about membership, we welcome your inquiries.
"Freemasonry is not a society that makes men good, but one that makes good men better through friendship, morality, and brotherly love."
