Welcome to Friendship Masonic Lodge No. 160

A Masonic Lodge in North Portland, Oregon.

A Guiding Light

What is Freemasonry? To many of its members, Freemasonry is a guiding light to those who wish to improve themselves — better fathers, better husbands, brothers, and ultimately, better members of society. Its principles and ceremonies inculcate the importance of introspection and manifestation of personal improvement to the world at large.

It’s also a haven for long-lasting and meaningful friendships among those who might otherwise have remained at a distance.

In short, it’s an organization that fosters fraternity, encourages personal improvement, and provides meaningful experiences.

The Modern Gentleman

Freemasonry has attracted men from many walks of life; those who not only have a sincere wish to be serviceable to society, but also to be a cut above the typical man and be part of the times. It is a haven for the modern gentleman to learn about the ways of the world.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in pursuing, then we invite you to learn more.

Friendship

Friendship No. 160 AF&AM is one of the many Masonic Lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Oregon. We are currently based out of the Kenton Masonic Temple in the Kenton neighborhood of Portland. As a Masonic Lodge, our focus is on Fellowship, Education, Charity, and above all else Friendship, as our name would imply.

We meet essentially every Wednesday for something or another, and are always happy to have guests and visitors. If you’d like to see what we’re up to, please check out our Calendar of events!


Latest News from the Lodge

Friendship’s Newest Entered Apprentice

By | General News | No Comments

The only thing better than making an EA in a year is making a second! We were lucky enough to welcome our second Entered Apprentice of 2025, Brother Steven, into our Order last night. We had an amazing degree with wonderful performances by Brother Kyle, as well as Worshipful Bros Chris and Walter and everyone else. We were also lucky enough to be visited by three Brothers from Beaverton Lodge, Brothers Tom, Jerry, and Brian. Afterwards we enjoyed some Pizza upstairs, while our Clubhouse is under construction. A wonderful evening with a wonderful group of Brothers.

Bowling at Big Al’s!

Another delayed post from a very busy month for Friendship! Since our usual meeting place is under construction, we decided to enjoy an outing last week by going bowling at Big Al’s. We invited everyone’s families and had a wonderful time. The kids had a lane to themselves, and the adults enjoyed trying to bowl and eat a massive plate of wings at the same time. Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy some Fellowship!

March Stated Meeting

Sorry for the delay! Things have been very busy this month at Friendship, with our Clubhouse remodel well underway now.

Before our business meeting, we enjoyed some delicious Chicken and Waffles from Screendoor, thanks to our Junior Warden. This month at Stated we had a busy meeting with votes on Charity, administration, and most importantly, our newest Candidate Steven!
