Our Message to the Public:
Welcome!


Palm Springs Lodge 693 is our area's home to the world's largest and oldest fraternity. We are a group of men who, through Freemasonry, enjoy friendship, personal growth, and spirituality without dogmatism.

Who are we?  Our Lodge includes Brothers working in law enforcement, building trades, medicine, finance, real estate, media, law, pool maintenance, retail, aviation...even guys enjoying retirement. Every age group is represented in our membership. We have Lodge members in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s!

Masons meet "on the level."  No matter your social rank, professional status, or the size of your bank account, when Lodge is meeting, we're equals - brought together in a centuries-old tradition of fellowship.

What's Freemasonry all about?  It's often said that one of its purposes is "making good men better." True, but 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. For someone interested in Masonry, 2B1ASK1.

Don't know a Mason?  No problem. Lodge 693 and all Masonic Lodges welcome inquiries!  Contact us here

 Lodge 693's Newest Master Mason: Bernard Shannon

     Brother Bernard Shannon (above right) was raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on April 24th.

     Brother's Shannon's raising was especially meaningful.  Among those in attendance for his Degree was Brother J. Michael Wood PM of Doric Lodge #732 in Nashville, Tennessee (above, left). It was Brother Wood who first inspired Bernard to join our Fraternity.  As it turns out, he was able to co-ordinate a trip to California with Brother Shannon's scheduled Degree.  It was wonderfully meaningful, and a fine example of Masonic brotherhood reaching across the miles. 

     Congratulations, Brother Bernard, and thank you Brother Wood for making this 3rd Degree really special. 

Lodge 693 Welcomes Alexander Heimann as an Entered Apprentice Mason

     
     Brother Alexander Heimann is presented gifts by Worshipful Master Luther Wood and Junior Warden David Pucksoontorn following his Initiation as an Entered Apprentice Mason on April 17.

     Alexander, who lives in Palm Springs, described the experience as "interesting,"  and was emotionally moved by it. 

     You've knocked at the door, Brother Heimann, and have taken the first steps into our fraternity.  We enthusiastically welcome you! May your journey into Masonic Light continue to be interesting and rewarding.
