Grand Secretary Frank Cline
For 40 years, Right Worshipful Brother Frank Cline has served in nearly every role within the fraternity and helped shape generations of Masonic leadership. We had the opportunity to sit down to discuss his Masonic journey, the responsibilities of lodge and Grand Lodge leadership, and the lessons he’s carried with him along the way.
His advice to new Masons is simple but meaningful: take your time, learn the ritual, and instill the lessons into your daily life.
Illinois Masonic Blue Pages
In every corner of Illinois, our Masonic Brotherhood is made up of men from all walks of life and all kinds of professions. Whether you need a trusted plumber, a financial advisor, an attorney, or even a custom woodworker, chances are there's a Brother who can help.
That’s why we created the Illinois Masonic Blue Pages, the official business directory for Illinois Freemasons, built to help Brothers support each other professionally. You can discover trusted services offered by Masons across the state, or submit your own business listing today.
And keep checking back, we will update this resource regularly with new submissions.
Masonic Membership Visibility Day 2025
Saturday, August 16th, was Masonic Membership Visibility Day 2025!
This year, we focused on “Loyalty to My Brothers and Freemasonry.” We collected stories of loyalty from Brothers around the state and encouraged men to publicly show their Masonic pride on Membership Visibility Day itself.
We appreciate everyone’s involvement who made this day a success.
THE lyceum
The Committee on Masonic Education at the Grand Lodge of Illinois is proud to create an inspiring newsletter just for our community.
Named "The Lyceum," it's a place for us to share reflections, stories, and insights that connect us to the heart of the Craft. In the June 2025 issue, we're diving into the Four Cardinal Virtues, sharing a timeless perspective for today's world, and much more.
