Mentor and Education Team

  • Local Masonic history

  • Masonic etiquette and protocol 
  • Masonic law 
  • Items from the California Research Lodges, Philalethes Magazine, or Scottish Rite and York Rite magazines

“And Give Them Proper Instruction” is a Digest available through the Masonic Service Association containing twenty short speeches for Masonic gatherings. It has enough to fill up any Lodge year.

It takes very little time to ensure that every Brother is masonically educated. Membership development and retention will rise when all Brethren understand their rights and privileges, and the customs and practices of our Craft.

The duties of a Mentor are for one year. Do not leave the newly made Mason alone to fend for himself after the Master Mason Degree.
