Copyright 2011 - Templum Sion Lodge of Freemasons

“Templum Lodge was born out of a desire for building a fresh new operating model that would provide energy, knowledge and quality within the Craft. The original 13 Charter members wanted a product that would minimize business, employ the latest technology, and value add to the basic Lodge experience.

We meet 7X annually, rotate Officers every two years, have chosen to slow down the rate of candidate ritual progression, scrutinize new applications to ensure the right fit within our organization, operate on Saturdays

-which allows our membership to focus on their careers, families and personal vocations during the week,

and we utilize numerous electronic tools and media for communications and information sharing. Learning

and self-development is the foundation of the intensive education program that provides new members with

a well-rounded education of history, philosophy, psychology, architecture, organizational & leadership knowledge.

We wish to celebrate and practice our values and liberate human potential for the benefit of society,

this is at the heart of our Lodge.”
