Who are we?
The Degree of Mark Master Mason is open to all Master Masons. Therefore, if you are not already a Freemason, you will have to join a ‘Craft’ Lodge and go through all three degrees and become a Master Mason.
What we do
In the Mark, the ceremony in which a brother is ‘Advanced’ can be said to comprise of two degrees; the first in which he is acknowledged as a Mark Man, followed by the second where he becomes a Mark Master Mason; both of which are conducted at the same ceremony.
The Mark referred to in its title takes its name from the mark or symbol with which the stonemason identified his work and can still be found in many cathedrals and important buildings.
Why join us?
We find that people join Mark Masonry for its unique, friendly atmosphere, deeper Masonic knowledge, and as a bridge to other orders, enjoying its sociable events, unique rituals (like choosing a personal "Mark"), and emphasis on hope, perseverance, and practical life lessons, all while deepening commitment to core Masonic values like brotherly love and charity. It's known as the "Friendly Degree" for its welcoming environment and often provides essential context for other Masonic degrees, especially the Royal Arch.
