Masonry Universal Lodge was consecrated in July 1955 to serve the Masonic needs of the English-speaking community in the Geneva region. Its founders obtained agreement from the national Grand Lodge to work, in English, the three Emulation degrees familiar to many English Masons. Over the subsequent years, the Lodge maintained an average membership of between 40 and 50 in a transient, multicultural and multinational environment. Today, we are over 70 members. Subject to rearrangement due to Public Holidays, our regular meetings take place at 3 rue Firmin-Massot, 1206 Geneva, on the second Monday of the month (October to June inclusive), starting at 7.00 pm. The signature book is available from 6.30 pm. The Installation Meeting usually takes place on the third Saturday in June, starting at 3.00 pm. Extraordinary regular meetings may be scheduled; these would probably take place on the fourth Monday of the month. We do not normally meet during July, August and September. Masonry acts for the benefit of society as well as the self-development of its members. If you are a just, upright and free man, of mature age, sound judgment and strict morals, consider Freemasonry as a way to help make yourself a better man, and the world a better place. If you are already a Freemason, and are relocating to the Geneva area - or simply visiting the area - please feel free to contact us for further information. If you are interested in Freemasonry and have explored the links available to you - including those in this web site - you may also contact us for further information.
News
At our regular meeting of 8 March, we were delighted to Initiate two young me, each being a Lewis - the son of a Mason. The father of one of them is still a member of our Lodge, albeit retired and living back in England. We were fewer than usual, with many Officers absent for unavoidable reasons. Nevertheless, the ceremony was done well, and the former Candidates impressed with the whole process. The addition of these two new members bring our current strength again up to 75. We are hopeful that we will reach a record 80 members by the end of the year. We expect to have two regular meetings in April as we have something of a backlog of ceremonies. However, in order to maintain our May meeting as the 500th, we will have to designate the second meeting in April as the 499½th. Please see page 3 for more information. Whether you are a Member of our Lodge or a visiting Mason, please let us know if you will be at the meeting, and please ALWAYS CALL THE JW IF YOU INTEND TO STAY FOR THE FESTIVE BOARD. If you do not do so, there may not be a meal for you! Please visit this site again for more information. We look forward to seeing you then! If you are a member, we expect to see you at our meetings. Having joined our Lodge, we are keen to see you participate in its activities. As a visiting brother, we look forward to welcoming you to one - or more - of our meetings. Please check the schedule on page 3 of this web site and contact us for further information. On behalf of the Worshipful Master, Officers and all the Brethren of Masonry Universal Lodge, thank you for visiting our web site. Please come again soon!
