Square and Compasses Day

On October 13, the Brothers of Olive Branch Lodge #16 2 Dutch Lane Road in Freehold Borough will join with the Grand Lodge of New Jersey and all of the other Masonic lodges throughout the Garden State in celebration of Square and Compasses Day by hosting an Open House from 11am to 2 pm. 


Our Open House is designed to help the public gain a better understanding of the fraternity, its history, and why Freemasonry has been the common denominator of so many great men throughout our country’s history.


As the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization, Freemasonry today is built on Brotherly Love, Relief,
and Truth. Through fellowship, charity, education and leadership, Freemasons are making their lives - and their communities - stronger by the day. Learn about the history, aspirations & ideologies of a fraternity that has included prolific members like NFL star John Elway and
Actor John Wayne. Meet local masons, tour our Lodge & enjoy great conversation with our members. We look forward to seeing you there.

Interested in becoming a Mason? The first step is to ask. Many of our brothers will be available to answer questions. Benefits of membership, referred to in our ritual as the “tenets of our profession”, include developing friendships with men and their families that you might otherwise never have met, personal development and helping others in the community. We take pride in our families, lodge, members, and community. For more information contact Frank Girello, our lodge Secretary at  (732)637-9080 or, to learn more about Freemasonry, visit www.olivebranchlodge.org
