Many men seek brotherhood through fraternities or social groups, but these environments often involve heavy drinking and associated risks. Masonry offers a different path. Our Lodges focus on values, mentorship, personal growth, and meaningful fellowship — providing a safe, supportive environment where men can grow, connect, and build lasting bonds without the pressures of alcohol.

Sobriety isn’t just a health choice — it’s a financial advantage. From cutting weekly alcohol expenses to avoiding hidden costs like medical bills, fines, and lost productivity, staying sober can significantly strengthen your budget. Data from the CDC shows that excessive drinking costs Americans billions each year, much of it from reduced workplace performance. By choosing sobriety, men — especially those committed to responsibility and personal growth — can protect their income, improve long-term stability, and redirect money toward meaningful goals such as family needs, savings, charity, and fellowship.

The winter holidays are often seen as a joyful season — but for many, they bring unexpected stress, loneliness, or depression. Shorter days, emotional pressure, and the expectation to stay cheerful can make this time of year difficult. At Walter Johnson Jr. Masonic Lodge #765, we recognize these challenges and emphasize the importance of connection, support, and community. This article explores why holiday depression happens, how to recognize it, and how leaning on fellowship and meaningful relationships can make the season more manageable.

The holiday season brings celebration and connection — but it can also heighten stress and temptations around alcohol. Many men face increased pressure at social events or emotional triggers that make this time of year challenging, especially for those in recovery. At Walter Johnson Jr. Masonic Lodge #765, we offer a supportive, alcohol-free environment where men can reflect, grow, and enjoy meaningful fellowship. Through brotherhood, mentorship, and values-driven activities, our Lodge helps men navigate the holidays with purpose, balance, and support.

We “hate” Boots on the Ground Events… because they’re just too much fun! Every time we get together, there’s nonstop laughter, great music, and good company from both our Brothers and Sisters. From the moment the doors open, the energy is contagious — smiles everywhere, dancing, storytelling, and the kind of fellowship that reminds us why these gatherings mean so much. We may joke about “hating” them, but truth be told, we love every minute of the fun, friendship, and Masonic family spirit that fills the room.

Freemasonry & The Bible: The Great Light of Freemasonry
At Walter Johnson Jr. Masonic Lodge, the Bible guides our teachings, rituals, and symbols. Known as the Great Light, it inspires Masons in truth, morality, and personal growth, helping us build character, serve the community, and pursue spiritual development.

Beneath the Surface: The Ancient Roots of Secret Societies

Long before Freemasonry, secret societies shaped civilization from the shadows—guardians of forbidden knowledge and freedom of thought. From the mystery cults of Egypt to the hidden meetings of early Christians, they sought truth beyond authority and light within secrecy.

Freemasonry continues this ancient quest for wisdom, morality, and purpose. Secrecy was never deceit—it was protection for those who dared to ask life’s deepest questions.

The deeper the root, the taller the tree.

On a warm Saturday morning, October 18, 2025, something truly special happened at 712 6th Street in West Palm Beach, Florida. What began as a simple community service project quickly blossomed into a powerful display of unity, purpose, and heart. The Walter Johnson Jr. Masonic Lodge No. 765—under the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, Prince Hall Affiliated—teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of the Palm Beaches, Way FM 88.1, and the devoted women of OES Valentine Chapter No. 12 for a meaningful day of giving back. Together, brothers, sisters, and local volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help refresh and revitalize a neighborhood home. More than just paint and repairs, the day became a celebration of compassion, collaboration, and the true spirit of community.

The Meaning Behind the Masonic Ring

More than just jewelry, the Masonic ring is a powerful symbol of brotherhood, tradition, and personal journey. While not officially part of Masonic regalia, these rings — often passed down through generations — reflect a Mason’s commitment to the Craft and its values.

From ancient symbolism to unique designs tied to various appendant bodies, each ring tells a story. Whether worn facing in or out, the meaning lies with the Brother who wears it.
