Freemasonry: the teachings and practices of the fraternal order of Free and Accepted Masons.
Infinity Lodge No. 546
Penn Hills | Pittsburgh, PA
What is Freemasonry?
The Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons is the oldest, largest and most widely known fraternal organization in the world. Volumes have been written about it; however, the origins are still shrouded in time immemorial. Historically, operative masons were an exclusive group of master stonemasons who passed their artisanship to proficient apprentice stonemasons under strict standards.
Throughout historical advancement, this artisan collective of operative stonemasons began accepting selective non-stonemasons (speculative masons) and their craftsmanship expanded beyond skilled symbolic stonework into the labor of mastering oneself.
There is no simple definition of Freemasonry - ask ten Freemasons to define it and you could get ten different answers - and that is because Freemasonry is an “encompassing umbrella" that appeals to men of all ages, races, creeds, interests, professions, socio-economic status.
Freemasonry, first and foremost, is a self-improvement organization that gives its members the tools to better themselves and grow as individuals. Each Mason leads himself on his journey, so different men grow by being involved with different aspects of the Craft that appeal to their interests and needs.
Freemasonry is a fraternity of men that teaches philosophy and a system of morality. Masons are bound together by oaths based on the traditions of the stonemason guilds and all Masonic law, legends, and customs are based on the Ancient Charges of those guilds. Masons obligate themselves to practice brotherly love, relief, charity, equality, and to uphold the ancient practices of the fraternity.

Our Lodge is extremely proud of our history, heritage, and diversity. Infinity Lodge No. 546 started as Duquesne Lodge No. 546 in 1876. However, other even older lodges are part of our heritage; the oldest being Braddock’s Field Lodge No. 510 which started in 1872. We celebrated Braddock’s Field Lodge’s 150th anniversary in 2022 and are looking forward to celebrating Infinity’s Lodge’s 150th anniversary in 2026. Our Lodge is represented by Brothers from all races, religions, social standings, and political persuasions.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
Sincerely and Fraternally,
George L. Powell
