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!

April Officer’s Meeting

By | General News | No Comments

As usual, we held our Officer’s Meeting for the last Wednesday of the Month. Our main topics of discussion were our next few months of programming, taking us through the summer. This year we’re looking at mixing things up a little and instead of just not having our Stated Meetings for July and August, we’re planning on replacing them with some events like Mini-golf and a BBQ for the Brethren. We also discussed a Dues and Lifetime Membership increase, which has been a long time coming. Given the amount of discussed topics, our May Stated is likely to contain a lot of Lodge discussion.

Fellowship Night

We decided to just have some fellowship this week, but due to unforeseen circumstances, and a splash of Covid, a number of us had to pull out. Thanks to Brothers Hunter and Matt for holding down the fort and enjoying some Fellowship together though!

With the vicissitudes of winter upon us it was absolutely time to get our relief to area shelters. And despite the core leadership of the Lodge being out of state, despite key elements of our project lost in transit, and despite having fewer than 24 hours to complete 450+ kits, Friendship persevered.
