How to join Freemasonry
Contrary to popular believes Freemason Lodges do not recruit new members by asking them to join.
To BE one, you must ASK one. This process is as old as the fraternity of Freemasonry itself and ensures that the individual who wishes to join a Freemason Lodge is doing so of his own desire and free will.
If you don’t know a Freemason to ask, simply fill out the form on this page, and someone from UIL will contact you to answer any questions you have. Once you feel that you are ready to join, then simply ask him.
At UIL we organise regularly Open Days so as to provide opportunities to come and meet us in our Lodge in Utrecht and to find out more about Freemasonry.
The mission of Freemasonry is to promote a way of life that binds like minded men into a worldwide Brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences; by teaching the great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
Those who think freely are drawn to others who share that independence of mind—not to follow, but to engage as equals. They reject imposed opinions and rigid doctrines, choosing instead to walk their own path through life.
Yet even the most independent seek meaningful connection—a place where individuals listen with respect, where diverse perspectives are welcomed, not dismissed. Where thoughtful dialogue leads to shared reflection on life’s deepest questions.
Such is the spirit in which Freemasons come together.
