The Shrine is a concordant body of Freemasonry, to be eligible to join you must first become a Master Mason in a lodge. If you already are, please visit the Al Azhar website for details on how to join.
Freemasonry means something different to each member. For some, it’s about belonging to one of the world’s historically oldest and largest non-religious,
non-political, fraternal and charitable organization for all parts of society. For others it’s about camaraderie, making new friends and a brotherhood that stands the test of time. But for most, Freemasonry is a way of life. Members are expected to be of high moral standing as Freemasonry offers itself as a field of enhancement to your self-knowledge, service to humanity, and to understanding the Brotherhood of Man through participation in a progression of degree ceremonies.
Joining the Masonic Order is not a simple process, it involves first finding two Masons to be sponsors and then following what is called the ‘seven step process’. More
information can be found on the Grand Lodge of Alberta website.
