           Master's Message October 2019
Greetings and thank you for visiting our website:
We are now in October and what do we do at this time of the year?  We become grateful for the heat going away.  We celebrate the harvest, take our kids trick or treating and for some of us, enjoy Oktoberfest.
All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Day is huge in Catholicism and all around the world.
We have much to be thankful for here at Palm Springs Lodge.  We have enjoyed many successes yet another year.  We are giving back to our community by inviting the public to join us in our discussion group or Socrates Cafe/Trivium (which has been a huge success) and we will be Raising Brother Guillermo Morales to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on October 26th beginning at 4pm.
Here is what our month looks like:

Tuesday, Oct. 15th - 3rd  degree Rehearsal at 6:30
Tuesday, Oct. 22nd - Hall Association at 6pm followed by 3rd degree rehearsal at 6:30
Saturday, Oct. 26th - Third Degree at 4pm

Giving back to the community

Our community service was well received at the lodge. Over 22 people were present to discuss "What is Halloween?" The most interesting comment we received after the discussion was, "I did not know how you could tie Freemasonry in with a conversation about Halloween but you guys did it!" We tied in traditions, ancient cultures, astronomy, superstitions, death cults, the skull and bones and Oktoberfest. How about that!

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
