California Masonic membership is open to men age 18 or older
who meet the qualifications and standards of character and
reputation, and who believe in a Supreme Being.
To become a member, a man must be recommended by two
members of a local Masonic lodge and file a petition through
that lodge. After submitting the petition, the applicant then
meets with a committee to discuss Freemasonry and learn
more about the organization. If the interview is favorable, the
petition is presented to the lodge for a vote. If the vote is
affirmative, the individual receives the Entered Apprentice
degree – the first degree of Freemasonry. Once a man has
completed the next two degrees, he is a Master Mason and a
full member of the fraternity.
The fees for degrees range from $150 to $200. Annual dues
are set by the individual lodge and are usually between $12
and $100.
