Speak with someone you know to be a mason. Ask a man wearing Masonic jewelry or other Masonic identification. Telephone directories typically list "Masonic Lodges" in the "Fraternal Orders" section of the "Yellow Pages."

You may simply call the Lodge closest to you. Of course, lodges will not always have a person available to answer the phone. Most meet in the early evening hours on a weekday. Try calling between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Once you have expressed an interest, a few members of the Lodge will arrange to visit you at home at your convenience. This gives you and your family an opportunity to ask questions and to find out if Freemasonry is for you and your family.

You will be asked to fill out a form, called a petition, which is then signed by Masons who have met or know you and can recommend you. This petition is shared with the other Lodge members who then vote on your membership.

Print the Petition!

You can bring your petition prior to any of our meetings, or you can mail it to us at the following address:

Lafayette Lodge #123
522 Columbia Street
Lafayette, IN 47901
