Pilgrim Lodge #691 Freemasonry, Making Good Men Better. What are the Ceremonies? Symbolically the degrees represent the three stages of human development: youth, manhood, and age.

The experience of becoming a member of a Masonic Lodge is divided into three ceremonial stages that Masons call "degrees." These three degrees are loosely based upon the journeyman system, which was used to educate Medieval craftsmen. The first degree of Freemasonry is the Entered Apprentice degree. It is a candidate's first experience with the ceremonies of the fraternity and like all Masonic cer

emonies is a solemn and meaningful event. Though new to Freemasonry, an Entered Apprentice enjoys the title of "Brother." The Fellow Craft degree is the second ceremony and exposes a Brother to more of the symbolism and philosophy of the fraternity. For skilled craftsmen this degree would have marked one's progress from an apprentice to a journeyman. The Master Mason degree is the last of the Lodge ceremonies and with it a candidate becomes a full member, enjoying both the rights and responsibilities of membership. During all three ceremonies, a candidate is treated with complete respect. At no time, is he ever made to feel uncomfortable or harassed in anyway. Masonic ceremonies are a wonderful tradition shared by men such as George Washington, Harry S. Truman, Dave Thomas, and other men of integrity. These ceremonies are always conferred in such a way as to bring pride to the candidate and the members of the Lodge.

Today, the Brothers of Smithfield Masonic Lodge pause to honor the men and women of law enforcement who labor each day in service to our communities.

As Freemasons, we are taught through our working tools to shape our lives with purpose, discipline, and integrity. In much the same way, law enforcement officers apply judgment, restraint, and courage in the ex*****on of their duty. You walk your path by the Light of truth, striving to act justly even in the most difficult circumstances.

Guided by the principles symbolized by the Square and Compasses, you work to square your actions with fairness and to circumscribe your conduct within the bounds of honor and service to others. Your commitment to these ideals strengthens the foundations of a safe and orderly society.

May the Great Architect grant you wisdom, protection, and a safe return home at the close of each watch.

From all of us at Smithfield Masonic Lodge, we thank you for your faithful service and dedication.
