Granada Hills Lodge No. 378 F&AM

Making true friends,
improving ourselves, having an impact

What is Masonry?

Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization.  It is guided by the enduring belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place.  For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world.

HISTORY OF GRANADA HILLS LODGE No. 378 F&AM

Granada Hills Lodge  was formed in San Fernando Lodge No. 343 and applied for dispensation for regular lodge to Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Masons of the state of California  and with a special communication of Grand Lodge in 1958 it was constituted as lodge No.790 by Most Worshipful Phil N. Myers on November 22nd, they lodge in San Fernando No. 343 Masonic lodge which was constituted in 1906 until in  the late 60’s the lodge purchased the present location on 16535 Rinaldi St in Granada Hills with the dispensation of the Grand lodge. The building was a Christian Church at the time and was upgraded to a Masonic lodge.

In December 1990, Mizpah Lodge No. 378 of Los Angeles, which was constituted in May of 1906 by MW Motley H. Flint request a merger with Granada Hills Lodge No. 790 and was approved on December 1, 1990, to be known as Granada Hills Lodge No. 378.

Rewards of Being a Freemason

Making True Friends

Masonry is a community of men and their families who share similar beliefs and values. The fraternity finds it important to connect with other men of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge, regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship, or national origin. We are friends and brothers, and are connected through this vital and uplifting organization of moral men.

Improving Ourselves

Our continuing pursuit of truth, knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills makes us better men and brings more meaning to our lives. Learning the tenets of Freemasonry, paired with being an active part of our community, gives us the opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills, and builds self-discipline through commitment and self-confidence.
