Haiti - hit head-on by an enormous earthquake.

I’m sure you’ve seen the heart-wrenching images of Haiti.

The full impact of the earthquake is still emerging, but it’s clear that many thousands of people have either been killed or left homeless.

It’s essential that this small nation gets the help it needs as quickly as possible.

The best way for you to help, if you haven’t already, is to donate directly to the Disaster Emergency Committee.

Whether you can afford to give £5 or £500, it all makes a difference.

Irish Masonic Charities

"if we can help somebody .............."

Helping to relieve poverty and distress amongst Brethren and their families is one of the 'foundation stones' on which Irish Freemasonry is built. Unfortunately in this new millennium it is still necessary for this work to continue. However in recent years, due to increased generosity of Irish Freemasons, the 'charitable work' we engage in has been extended. The various charity committees within our Order now actively assist several very worthy 'non masonic' causes thus allowing Society as a whole to benefit from
"the labours of Irish Freemasons"

Freemasonry is well known for the support and financial assistance it provides, not only to its membership, but also to a wide range of non Masonic charities. Medical projects, Hospices, community minibuses, accommodation for those in need, and educational bursaries, are just some of our long established and ongoing beneficiaries.
