  Master's Message November 2019
Greetings and thank you for visiting our website:
We have a new line of Grand Lodge Officers and soon all up and down the state of California, all lodges will be nominating and electing their new line of officers as well.  October was good for us this year.  We celebrated Oktoberfest twice, we had an excellent Trivium discussion on "What is Halloween?" and we even had a very special guest who helped us get our own Socrates Cafe/Trivium started, Brother Matt Jackson.  And let me tell you, he did not miss a beat.  A few brothers and friends got together at the new Coachella Brewing Company, we raised Brother Guillermo Morales to the Third Degree on October 26th and had an excellent celebration afterwards with a four course meal, wine, toasts and plenty of merriment and now we are in November.  We will be awarding Worshipful Bill Sullivan with his 50 Year Golden Veteran's Award before stated meeting so come on down and join us.  Our website is currently under new construction and we give thanks to Brother Nick Seneca at this time and acknowledge what a wonderful job he has done with our web page all this time.  Thanks Nick!

Our Message to All: Welcome!


Vision Statement: To restore Palm Springs Lodge #693 as a beacon of light in Masonry for all worthy and well qualified men.

Mission Statement: Our Mission is to lead by example.  To provide a sanctuary away from the world at large where brothers are free to teach, learn, and explore the symbols, values, morals, and principles of speculative Freemasonry that will help us live as righteous and noble men.

Masons meet "on the level."  No matter your profession or your economic status (some financial responsibilities required), when our Lodge is in session, we're equals where outside worldly titles and social status disappear while we are in the pursuit of our Masonic labors.  We are a sacred society, or band of brothers formed in a centuries-old tradition.

What's Freemasonry all about?  Freemasonry is refinement in everything we do.  From the way we  dress, speak, prepare for our meetings, interact with one another and share meals, it's all about hard work.  That work is work we do internally,  True, there's a lot more to the vast tapestry of our Craft. Learn more here.

Masons do not solicit new members.  Interested men must approach of their own initiative.  However, first a friend, then a brother.  All prospective members are vetted over a 6 to 12 month period.  No one is guaranteed membership, not every man should be a Mason, and not every Mason should be a member of our lodge.

Don't know a Mason?  No problem. Lodge 693 welcomes inquiries!  Contact us here
