"Moriah Lodge No. 15
Welcome to the Moriah Lodge No.15 website. This is the place to learn about our lodge and Freemasonry, as well as keep up to date with all of our meetings, degrees, and exciting fundraising events. Moriah 15 is located in Brooklyn CT. We are a lodge made up of good men of all ages and walks of life, who all share a common bond and desire to become better through knowledge, charity, and brotherhood. We are proud to be celebrating over 220 years as a chartered lodge under the AF & AM Grand Lodge of Connecticut.
Our fraternity is the oldest in the world and dates back as early as 1717 when the first Grand Lodge was founded in London, England, but documents show the fraternity dating back to 1630. Our fraternity has initiated some of the greatest men in history, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson, John Hancock, Harry Truman, Jesse Jackson, Tom Sawyer, and many other great men that have contributed to freedom.
Freemasons do not invite members into the fraternity, however if a man over the age of 18 of sound moral character, who can express his belief in a supreme deity asks to be a Mason, he is welcome to petition to become a member. Asking that first question is a good man's first step towards speculative masonry.
Feel free to browse through our site, check out pictures of our officers and lodge events, and if you would like more information on Masonry or Moriah 15 please go to the contact us section and take a minute to fill out some of your contact information and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. A new journey awaits you." SOURCE
Lodge History
"In May 1789, The Grand Lodge of Connecticut was founded. Our first Grand Master was Pierpont Edwards, and at the founding of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, it had fourteen lodges that were all originally chartered by Grand Lodges of New York and Massachusetts.
On October 15th, 1790, Moriah was granted a charter by Grand Lodge of Connecticut, and given the number 15. We are the first to be chartered by the Grand Lodge of Connecticut, and take pride in celebrating over 220 years of welcoming brothers through our doors." SOURCE
