Why we do this

There are generally two broad thoughts common to many Harcourt members as to why we choose this path: improving ourselves while deepening our social community and seeking excellence in our ritual work.


This ritual work, that comprises the three degrees of Craft Masonry, not only contains valuable life lessons to be contemplated and discerned but also includes layers of symbolic references that encourages us, as practitioners and participants, to become better men. 


Socially we form strong bonds through brotherhood that not only encourage us inside lodge but draw us to extend ourselves within our own membership and our communities.

Lifelong friendships are developed amongst members of Harcourt that extend well beyond our evenings at lodge.
