Parade Mission Statement
By Steven Bass
Masonry is the world's first
and largest fraternal organization. It is a body of knowledge and a system
of ethics based on the belief that each man has a responsibility to
improve himself while being devoted to his family, faith, country, and
fraternity. As Masons, we lead by example, give back to our communities,
and support numerous Masonic philanthropies. We invest in children, our
neighborhoods, and our future.
Our values
Our Mission is guided by the enduring and relevant tenets of our
fraternity--Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth--and our core values, which
include:
Ethics
Our lives are based on honor and integrity, and we believe that honesty,
compassion, trust, and knowledge are important.
Tolerance
The fraternity values religious, ethnic, cultural, social, and educational
differences. We respect the opinions of others and strive to improve and
develop as human beings.
Personal growth
Our continuous pursuit of knowledge, ethics, spirituality, and leadership
brings more meaning to our lives.
Philanthropy
We make a difference in our communities through charitable giving,
community service, and volunteerism.
Family
We strive to be better spouses, parents, and family members and are
committed to protecting the well being of members and their families,
especially when they are in need.
Freedom
Masons value the liberties outlined in the U.S. Constitution and
continually promote freedom of speech and expression, freedom to worship a
Supreme Being in an individual way, and other important liberties. We
believe it is our duty to vote in public elections and to exercise all of
our liberties within due and proper bounds. We are joined today with our
Masonic Concordant bodies consisting of The O.C. York Rite Knights
Templars #36 Drill Team, Santa Ana Scottish Rite Knights of St. Andrews,
Irvine Valley #671 Masonic Organization, Saddleback Laguna #672 Masonic
Organization, Saddleback DeMolay for young men, International Order of
Rainbow Girls #261, El Bekal Shriners of Anaheim of which Proudly serve
your community and country.
In existence for seventy-five years*, we cover South
Orange County California from the Pacific ocean communities throughout the Saddleback
Valley to San Clemente, including the “Senior” community of Laguna Woods
(formerly known as Leisure World). Centrally located in Lake Forest, we echo the vibrancy
and sophistication of South Orange County.
“Our meetings are intended to cultivate
and enlighten the mind, to induce the habit of virtue, and to strengthen
the fundamental principles of our Order: Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
And if these meetings are blended with social mirth, and a mutual
interchange of fraternal feelings, then Freemasonry will be shown in its
true light, as an institution which fosters and improves the best
affections of our nature…”
