Palm Springs
Lodge No 693
Making true friends,
improving ourselves, having an impact
Masonry, the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization, is founded on the principle that every individual has a duty to improve the world. For over 300 years, Freemasonry has inspired personal growth and character development through fellowship, charity, and the pursuit of truth – both within ourselves and in the broader community.
Palm Springs Lodge is committed to personal growth and making a positive impact. We prioritize respect, kindness, and inclusion, celebrating diversity and fostering harmony in our lodge and community. We actively engage with Palm Springs through charitable initiatives, educational programs, and social events that bring members and families together in support of a shared purpose
Masonry is a community of men and their families who share similar beliefs and values. The fraternity finds it important to connect with other men of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge, regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship, or national origin. We are friends and brothers, and are connected through this vital and uplifting organization of moral men.
Our continuing pursuit of truth, knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills makes us better men and brings more meaning to our lives. Learning the tenets of Freemasonry, paired with being an active part of our community, gives us the opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills, and builds self-discipline through commitment and self-confidence.
As a member of the Freemasons, the Grand Lodge of California, and Palm Springs Lodge No. 693, we are a part of a worldwide organization that values tradition, history, and timeless wisdom. The traditions and core values of our fraternity are meaningful today and will endure for centuries to come because of our direct impact in our community, through our charities, and on a personal level.
Our membership is open to men aged 18 and older who meet our standards of character, believe in a Supreme Being, and are committed to personal growth.
We proudly welcome men from all ethnicities and religious backgrounds. In Freemasonry, we don’t actively recruit members – you take the first step.
Feel free to reach out for more information or to arrange a visit during one of our events. Let this be your opportunity to connect with something meaningful!
