Masonic Values
Our Prescot Masonic lodge and Freemasons as a whole, believe in honour and that a man has a responsibility to behave honourably in everything he does. Freemasonry teaches its members the principles of personal decency and personal responsibility. It hopes to inspire them to have charity and goodwill toward all mankind, and to translate principles and convictions into action.
Our Masonic lodge strives to help the community with our charity donations and much more. We, as are all Masons, are always devoted to the promotion of the welfare and happiness of all mankind. Freemasonry as a whole teaches its members that unselfishness is a duty and that it's not only more blessed to give than to receive, but also more rewarding.
Freemasonry teaches a system of morality and brotherhood by the use of symbols and dramatic presentations. It encourages its members to expand their knowledge of the world around them. At James T Callow Lodge 3596 in Prescot, we encourage Masonic community and companionship to help you learn every step of the way.
Freemasons believe in the brotherhood of man, under the fatherhood of God. Freemasonry isn't a religion, the only thing it requires is that its members have faith in a Supreme Being, according to the individual Mason's belief. It's not a sectarian organisation and does not promote one religion over another. Masonic ceremonies describe a moral code, using basic principles that are common to all religions.
Freemasonry champions truth, justice, friendship, and charitable giving. We value civil liberties and thoughtful discourse. Members are encouraged to be good citizens who respect the laws of their communities while building meaningful connections with one another. We believe in making a positive difference together in a spirit of goodwill.
One of the first rules of Freemasonry forbids the discussion in Masonic meetings of religious matters and politics, topics likely to cause personal arguments. It's also against the fundamental principles of Freemasonry for Masonic organisations to take political action or attempt to influence elections or legislation.
Freemasonry regards no man for his worldly wealth, social status, or outward appearance. Kings, princes and sultans have been Masons. So have office workers, bin-men, factory workers, and fast-food fry cooks. Once invited to join, even on your first day, you're standing tall, as an equal, with the collective Masons of James T Callow Lodge 3596, Prescot.
Within British Freemasonry, women have established respected and thriving Grand Lodges that operate in parallel with the United Grand Lodge of England. The Order of Women Freemasons, founded in 1908, and Freemasonry for Women both maintain lodges across the UK, practising English ritual with remarkable authenticity. These organisations work within the same three Craft degrees and observe identical Masonic principles as their male counterparts.
British women Freemasons gather in their own temples nationwide, often sharing historic Masonic buildings with UGLE lodges and collaborating on charitable initiatives benefiting communities throughout the British Isles.
While maintaining separate administrative structures, these women's Grand Lodges enjoy formal recognition from UGLE as genuine Masonic bodies, reflecting Britain's distinctive approach to preserving Masonic traditions while acknowledging women's significant contribution to the Craft within the United Kingdom's rich Masonic landscape.
