The mission of in Utah is to teach and perpetuate a way of life that promotes brotherhood, self improvement through education, family values, moral standards, charity and community involvement.
To become a Freemason, you must first meet the pre-requisite requirements, find a sponsor, fill out a petition, and get that petition signed as directed on that petition and submit it to the Lodge.
After the petition has been submitted it will be read at the next regular business meeting, and an investigative committee will be assigned. As ominous as this sounds, it is in reality quite harmless. The “Committee” consisting of 3 Masons simply wants to meet with you and discuss your interests in Freemasonry, and get a better feeling of who you are. This typically takes place at your house, but can happen over coffee, lunch, or even at the Masonic Temple itself. The Committee will contact you and will work out the arrangements for time and place.
The committee is not interested in your tax returns, your political leanings, or religious affiliations, and to ensure that you believe in a Supreme Being. To make these determinations the committee requires no other proof than your say so, and will not make extensive credit checks, or investigate your religious affiliations.
More to the point they will be most interested in what you know about Masonry and what it is you hope to find in our Lodge.
The Investigative Committee will then make a report to the Lodge that you do or do not meet the requirements to be made a Freemason. At this time the Lodge will vote to determine if you will or will not receive the Degrees of Freemasonry.
