Today, we want to take a moment to honor all mothers around the world, including the Sisters of our Lodge who balance motherhood with their Masonic journey.

Motherhood is one of the most important and often underappreciated forms of human labor. Through patience, sacrifice, wisdom, and love, mothers help shape not only their families, but the future itself. They are often our first teachers, showing us compassion, integrity, responsibility, and the courage to think for ourselves.

In Liberal Freemasonry, also known as mixed-gender or co-ed Freemasonry, we believe that every person has the capacity to grow, to learn, and to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Mothers embody this work every day by nurturing curious minds, strengthening families, and helping raise thoughtful and caring human beings.

We are especially grateful to the Sisters of Pacific Moon Lodge who unite the responsibilities of motherhood with a commitment to personal growth, service, and the continual improvement of self and society.

To all mothers everywhere, thank you for the quiet and essential work you do in building a better world.

Happy Mother's Day.

Beginning this May, Freemasonry will once again have a presence in Redwood City, with meetings held at the Odd Fellows Hall on Main St.

There’s a meaningful local history behind this. Freemasonry was active here as early as 1863 through Redwood City Lodge No. 168. In 2000, that lodge relocated to San Carlos, where it continues its work today. Now, in 2026, Freemasonry is returning to Redwood City.

I understand that Freemasonry can sometimes feel unfamiliar or even misunderstood. That’s completely fair.

At its core, what we are building is something straightforward and intentional:

• A group of people who meet regularly
• To engage in thoughtful conversation and reflection
• To explore philosophy and personal development
• To participate in structured traditions and ceremonies
• And to share time together, often around a table

It is less about secrecy, and more about creating a space for meaningful connection and disciplined inquiry.

This lodge is part of a broader tradition of Freemasonry that is co-ed and grounded in freedom of thought. It exists alongside other forms of Freemasonry, each contributing in its own way to a wider and diverse fraternity.

For those who are looking for something more deliberate than casual social spaces—something rooted in reflection, structure, and community—this may be of interest.
