Welcome
The Grand Lodge of Ohio consists of 518 Lodges throughout the state representing brethren from Cincinnati to Ashtabula. We accept men of all races and religions and are proud to be represented in almost every community in Ohio.
Lodges Open Their Doors
The Masonic Lodge can often be one of the prominent buildings in many Ohio communities. However in some cases, the public has rarely had the opportunity to step inside. That is about to change. On Saturday, March 21, every Masonic Lodge in the state of Ohio will open its doors for a public open house.
“It’s time for the public to have a chance to see what’s behind those closed doors and to experience some of the genuine fellowship Masons share,” says Charles R. Murphy, Grand Master of Ohio Masons. “Also, it’s a great opportunity to introduce a prospective member to the fraternity.”
Each local Lodge will set its own agenda and schedule for March 21st. The Grand Master has simply asked each to participate.
Multiple Lodges meeting in one building will hold a joint open house. Lodges are also encouraged to work with the appendant organizations meeting in their buildings to give the public a glimpse of the whole Masonic family, including women’s and youth organizations.
“Every Lodge has some house keeping issues that need to be attended to, and a few fresh coats of paint wouldn’t hurt here and there,” says Murphy. “However, I think the renewed relationship with the community will make all the work well worth it.”
Brothers wishing to volunteer to help at the open house should contact their Lodge’s Secretary or Master as soon as possible.
