Irvine Valley lodge No. 671

What is Masonry?

Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. It is guided by the enduring belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place. For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world.

Our Mission and Our Lodge

Irvine Valley Lodge’s mission is to promote personal growth and improve the lives of others. We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and the community as a whole. We value respect, kindness, tolerance, and our differences – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, and educational, and strive for harmony in our individual lives, in our lodge, and in the global community.

As a lodge, we strive to be an active member of our community, and have various events throughout the year, from charitable and educational events, to social events with members-only as well as our families.

Rewards of Being a Freemason

Making True Friends

Masonry is a community of men and their families who share similar beliefs and values. The fraternity finds it important to connect with other men of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge, regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship or national origin. We are friends and brothers, and are connected through this vital and uplifting organization of moral men.

Improving Ourselves

Our continuing pursuit of truth, knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills makes us better men and brings more meaning to our lives. Learning the tenets of Freemasonry, paired with being an active part of our community, gives us the opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills, and builds self-discipline through commitment and self-confidence.

Having an Impact

As a member of the Freemasons, the Grand Lodge of California, and Irvine Valley Lodge No. 671, we are a part of a worldwide organization that values tradition, history, and timeless wisdom. The traditions and core values of our fraternity are meaningful today and will endure for centuries to come because of our direct impact in our community, through our charities, and on a personal level.

Join Us

Irvine Valley Lodge membership is open to men 18 and older who meet the qualifications and standards of character and intention, and who believe in a Supreme Being. Men of all ethnic and religious backgrounds are welcome.

One of Freemasonry’s customs is not to solicit members – men must seek membership on their own initiative. Anyone is welcome to request information about the fraternity.

If you are interested in applying for membership to our lodge, now is a good time to start. Please contact us to schedule a visit during an event, or request more information.

Multi-Degree Practice and Instruction Night

June 18, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Social and Dinner at 6:00 PM

It is that special period of the year when most Officers are well into their preparations for their roles next year and would certainly benefit from one-on-one attention and instruction by our Officers' Coaches.

Our Officers' Coach, Worshipful Mantucca, and our Deputy Officers' Coach, Worshipful Naber will conduct special focus sessions with those Officers who wish to fine-tune their ritual performance in any of the three degrees.

Our Master will hold a special training and practice session to all new and not so new Brothers focusing on the work of the Marshal, Senior and Junior Stewards in the First Degree.

Please email your RSVP to jw@irvinevalley.org so he can prepare a great dinner for the proper number of participants.

Masonic Education Night - First Degree Lecture and Charge

June 25, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Social and Dinner at 6:00 PM

As the ceremony of being initiated in the First Degree represents a tremendous change in the life of all new Masons the teachings and symbolism experienced during this degree are momentous and far-reaching.

Tonight, we will explore the deeper meanings of the First Degree Lecture and the Charge along with the slide presentation our Grand Lodge has prepared for the purpose. Although this presentation is meant mostly for our newest Members there is no doubt that all Masons will very much benefit from such recounting.

Please email your RSVP to jw@irvinevalley.org so he can prepare a great dinner for the proper number of participants.

This is the second night of our follow-up for our Five-Year Planning meeting we had a couple of years ago.

Do we need to focus on certain specific elements?

Freemasonry’s relationship with women evolved during its long history. How has this relationship changed over time, and why are separate streams of Masonry likely to continue?

The Flame Within a Heart

The Order of DeMolay supports young men in building character and leadership skills that serve them for a lifetime. Its close friendship and enduring values provide vital support, cultivate deep understanding, and nurture emotional intelligence at a pivotal point in life.

Commemorating a Masonic Monument

Earlier this summer, Grand Master Galloway joined the Masons of King David’s Lodge No. 209 for a ceremonial resealing of the Dorn Pyramid, a 23-foot tall granite mausoleum originally constructed in 1905. Robert Sachs, master of King David’s Lodge, shares the history and rumors of the Dorn Pyramid.
