Lodge #3 Detroit
Free and Accepted Masons of Michigan
What is Masonry?
Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. It is guided by the enduring belief that each man is responsible for making the world a better place. For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world.
Our Mission and Our Lodge
Union of Strict Observance Lodge #3 Detroit is committed to fostering personal growth and enriching the lives of others. We uphold the responsibility for the well-being of our brethren, our families, and the wider community. Embracing principles of respect, kindness, and tolerance, and celebrating our diverse backgrounds – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, or educational – we endeavor to create harmony with our individual lives, our lodge, and the global community.
Our meetings convene on the first Tuesday of each month at the Masonic Temple of Detroit. As a lodge, we actively engage with our community, organizing various charitable and educational events and social gatherings throughout the year. While some events are exclusive to members, many include our families, friends, and the community, promoting collective involvement and enjoyment.

Rewards of Being a Freemason
Making True Friends
Masonry represents a community where men and their families unite around shared beliefs and values. This fraternity emphasizes the significance of bonding with individuals who embody principles of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge. These connections transcend differences in race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship, or national origin. Within this organization, we are friends and brothers, bound by a shared commitment to moral values, fostering a vital and enriching collective.
Improving Ourselves
Our relentless quest for truth, knowledge, ethics, and leadership enhances our individual growth and infuses deeper significance into our existence. Embracing the principles of Freemasonry and actively engaging with our community presents an opportunity for honing leadership and organizational skills. This active participation cultivates self-discipline, commitment, and self-assurance, fostering personal development within each of us.
