Show detail Hide detail

Freemasons. Montreal Grand Lodge : Freemasonary, or more precisely, The Order of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, is an initiatory and philosophical society. Founded on a shared belief in the brotherhood of man, Freemasons are men from different backgrounds, different origins, and from all religions, beliefs, or philosophies. The modern foundations date from 1717 when four lodges in London, England, developed an administrative structure called the Grand Lodge. Freemasonary in Quebec appeared aproximately in the middle of the 18th century.

Each freemasonary jurisdiction operates under the authority of a Grand Lodge. Independent of each other, the lodges are linked together through a system of "mutual recognition". Quebec freemasonary is governed by the Grand Lodge of Quebec which comprises approximately one hundred lodges spread throughout the province. 1469
