If you live in the Carbondale area or go to Southern Illinois Uiversity come by the lodge any 4th Thursday around 6:30 pm (1510 W. Sycamore, Carbondale)and we'd be glad to talk to you about what we do. You can also visit www.ilmason.org ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------The Freemasons of Shekinah Lodge #241 have been building character and community in the Carbondale region of Southern Illinois for over 150 years !The men of Shekinah Lodge are all from different walks of life, different religions, different races and different political persuasions. But we all come together as a solid brotherhood to focus on and build up the Masonic principles of morality, honesty, integrity, charity and brotherly love.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Good men from all walks of life that are interested in improving themselves and their communities. Men who want to work together to become better men, better husbands,fathers, sons,friends and citizens. Men who still believe that things like honesty, integrity, courage, humility, and responsibility are important parts of being a "real man".
