Are you searching for something more meaningful than your daily routine?

Consider Freemasonry. We are a community that comes together to grow, give back, and forge genuine friendships with those who value honesty, kindness, and self-improvement. It’s not about wealth, status, or background; it's about becoming a better man through shared experiences.

We build confidence, learn from each other, support good causes, and uphold a centuries-old British tradition that remains significant today.

Many seek a place to invest in themselves, whether it's forming lasting friendships, pursuing personal growth, or finding purpose through community service. All it takes is a willingness to learn, contribute, and connect with like-minded individuals.

If you’re eager to be part of a community making a positive impact, Freemasonry might be what you’re looking for.

🎉✨️Congratulations 💫🎊
W.Bro Tom Cook from our brothers in Tilsmore Masonic Lodge 🏛

Last night the brethren of Tilsmore Lodge 4499 gathered together for the installation of their new master, W.Bro. Tom Cook.
The Temple was filled to capacity as Tom, a mason for over 60 years, took his oath and was placed in the chair.
The ensuing festive board became 2 hours of fellowship and laughter as Lodge members and visiting guests came together for feast and fun.
In true "Tom" style memories and anecdotes came out which kept those gathered amused throughout the evening.
Our photo shows Tom, along with some of his officers and lodge members, in the temple after the Installation

IF

By Rudyard Kipling 1865 –1936

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And which is more you’ll be a Man, my son!
