Grand Master's Welcome

My Brothers and friends...

Welcome to the website of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York. We hope you will find this site interesting and worthy of your time in your search for more light in relation to our beloved Fraternity. Certainly, we hope you will find this website relevant and user friendly.

We’d like you to consider this our window into Freemasonry in what many consider to be the preeminent Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in the world. We want to share our pride with you. We invite you to become more familiar with who we are and what we do as part of the Masonic family in the Empire State.

Take a few minutes to explore the many links to what is new and exciting in and about our jurisdiction...and beyond.

Many of the features found on our earlier website are still here.

Link to The Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library of Grand Lodge and our world famous collection of Masonic publications and artifacts.

Link to a virtual tour of Masonic Hall in New York City, one of the foremost Masonic buildings in the world.

Link to in-depth information on the various programs and activities of the Grand Lodge of New York, such as our efforts in support of youth, Camp Turk, our Military and Veterans outreach initiatives, our renowned Masonic Care Community in Utica, our famed Masonic Medical Research Laboratory (MMRL). You can also visit the Empire State Mason magazine on line.

Link to other Masonic-related sites worldwide.

And now you can access our new "New York Masons NETNEWS" for monthly updates from our Grand Lodge Committees; and soon there will be links for District and Lodge events, past and present and future.

I thank all of those who have contributed to this new initiative and I thank you for logging on. Come back soon. Come back often. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Fraternally,

NEAL I. BIDNICK

Grand Master
