Chartered in 1905, Kendall Lodge has been a part of Kendall County and the city of Boerne for over 110 years. A look at our past and present membership rolls reveals some of the oldest families and most respected names in Kendall County history. Masons seek to improve themselves through enlightenment; to take good men and help them to become better men. Thought to have originated with the stonemasons of the Middle Ages who built the great cathedrals and castles of Europe and the British Isles, Freemasonry has slowly transitioned from an operative guild where the trade (and trade secrets) of the stonemason's craft were taught, to a more speculative fraternity where the tools of ancient stonemasonry are used as symbolic reminders to live a moral and virtuous life.
If you are considering joining a lodge, then here are a few things that may aid you in your decision. First, joining the Masons requires that a man, of his own free will, petition for membership. We will not invite you to join. As a matter of fact, Texas Masons are prohibited from soliciting new members. This must be your decision. Second, Masonry requires that a man believe in a higher power. While we are not a religion, we are a society or organization of religious men. You may be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or any of the other theistic religions, as long as you believe that there is a power higher than yourself.
