Grand Lodge of Illinois A.F. & A.M.

We are Illinois Freemasonry, a fraternity of like-minded men from all walks of life who demonstrate upright conduct and acknowledge a belief in a Supreme Being. Illinois Freemasonry values equality, charity, tolerance, fellowship, and brotherly love among its members. 

For over 200 years, Freemasons have shared in the bonds of brotherhood while serving the communities of Illinois. Today, Illinois Freemasonry is a fraternity under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Illinois A. F. & A. M, comprising more than 420 Lodges and some 45,000 Masons. Illinois Freemasonry unites men from every walk of life who are invested in self-improvement and helping others.


We as Masons strive to promote community and human welfare and inspire acts promoting benevolence, charity, and goodwill toward all mankind; translating Masonic principles and conviction into personal actions.
