True Square 108 has certainly held a tradition that defines the true function of a Masonic lodge as defined by Bro. Benjamin D. Jones, the 33-degree Grand Historian of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, New York. Bro Jones stated. “The primary function of a Masonic Lodge (Whether Prince Hall or otherwise) is to train and educate its members on the basic truths which its rituals and its ceremonies are designed to inculcate; to develop its members as benevolent men; to cultivate social virtues among men; and to propagate the knowledge of the art. It is of great importance that all Prince Hall Masons know and appreciate the history of Prince Hall Masonry. It is not the primary function of Freemasonry to initiate candidates or to enlarge membership”. True Square’s function is to promote faith, hope, and charity.
