About Liberty
Liberty Lodge meets regularly once a month, on the first Thursday of every month. We meet additionally at other times as business or events warrant.
Liberty Lodge has several purposes, as does Masonry in general. Among these are:
- Fellowship with other men of good character
- Meeting people from all walks of life, from your community
- Self improvement, as further explained below
- Charity, which will be detailed further
- Making a difference in our community and society
- Learning about and perpetuating a history and fraternity that is hundreds of years old
Liberty Lodge has been involved in numerous charitable projects over the years, with many of these efforts continuing annually
- Support for the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford, NC, which has been housing and caring for children in need since 1870
