Fidelity Lodge #103 - Prince Hall Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organizations.

The fraternity is designed to make good men better through service to mankind. ABOUT US:

Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal and charitable organizations. It teaches self-knowledge through participation in a progression of ceremonies. Members are expected to be of high moral standing and are encouraged to speak openly about Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values. Its members are taught its principles (moral lessons and self-knowledge) by a series of ritual dramas which follow ancient forms and use stonemasons' customs and tools as allegorical guides. It instills in its members a moral and ethical approach to life and its values are based on integrity, kindness, honesty and fairness. Members are urged to regard the interests of the family as paramount but, importantly, Freemasonry also teaches concern for people, care for the less fortunate and help for those in need. ABOUT PRINCE HALL:

By many, Prince Hall is considered the founder father of African American Freemasonry in the United States of America. In the late 18th Century, Hall and several others sought to join the Masonic ranks after their service in the American Revolutionary War. They were inducted into the Order in the 1770s but, due to the climate of the day and challenges to the legitimacy of their induction, they were not recognized by one and all. As such, they submitted a petition to the Grand Lodge of England to obtain a charter to formally organize African Lodge directly from the source. With their prayer granted in 1784 and the charter received in 1787, African Lodge #459 was a legitimate Lodge on the rolls of a recognized Grand Lodge. By the end of the 18th Century, the African Lodge established two additional branches of itself in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. After the death of Prince Hall in 1807, the branches organized themselves into the African Grand Lodge in 1808. It is from this source that Prince Hall Freemasonry extended itself across America. Having made its way to the State of Illinois in the 1850s, Prince Hall Freemasonry is the oldest, continually-active, African American fraternal organization within the State of Illinois. This service has been displayed in thousands of communities across the State of Illinois since the middle of the 19th Century.

The Grand Master of The Lodge of The Heavens has hit HIS gavel to call yet another meeting to order. HE has communicated to the Heavenly Grand Secretary to send a summons which was handed to you by Bro. Death. You have been ordered to lay down your apron, your working tools, and your jewel. Your compass was set at 60 degrees as you sat in the East and passed The Chair of King Solomon. Now your compass is at 180 degrees which is symbolic of the dead level, you were once raised, being prepared to ascend to that Upper House. Your journey up the 15 Rounds of Jacob's Ladder, no man, can take with you. But, when you reach the porch of that Great Lodge Of The Heavens, you will met by some friends you know. The Holy St. Johns will meet you and greet you, as the Stewards and Deacons will es**rt you to the Alter with crossed staffs. The Tyler of Mourning will seal the door. Then you will be obligated and receive your crown, your robe, your jewel, and a special token. The GRAND MASTER OF THE Lodge of THE Heavens will say, " LET US RECEIVE THIS DEAR BROTHER ON THE 5 POINTS OF FRIENDSHIP AND HE IS ENTITLED TO ALL RIGHTS, LIGHTS AND BENEFITS OF THIS WORSHIPFUL LODGE. WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME, GO TO THE HEAVENLY GRAND SECRETARY'S DESK , SIGN YOUR NAME ON THE ROLL, AND TAKE YOUR PLACE AMONGST THE CRAFT WITH ME.
