Universal
Lodge

Number 40 in the Register of the
Grand Lodge Alpina of Switzerland

Welcome

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 60 members.

Subject to Public Holidays, our regular meetings take place at
3 rue Firmin-Massot, 1206 Geneva, on the second Monday of the month (October to May 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.  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 city, 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

 

Our last meeting of the Masonic year took place, as planned, on Saturday 20 June.  Traditionally, this is our Installation Meeting, and this year was no exception.

Sadly, we were fewer than usual, with less than 30 brethren present.  We enjoyed the Alpina Ceremony, formally Installing our new Worshipful Master, followed by the balance of the English Emulation Ceremony at which the new collège of Officers for 2009/2010 were appointed and invested.

An excellent festive board followed the meeting.

Our new year starts on 12 October after our Summer break.  Please visit this site again nearer the time 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 visitor, we look forward to welcoming you to one - or more - of our meetings.  Please check the schedule in 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!
