What Freemasonry is About

Freemasonry is a centuries-old, world-wide secular brotherhood with a method for teaching people to understand themselves, to relate to others and celebrate the differences. For those seeking it, Freemasonry offers a fraternal environment which teaches a method of meaning that, with the help of rituals and symbols, leads to self-development, brotherhood and - as a result - a better society.

Learn More About Us


Lodge 476 is a proud sponsor of the Penn Manor Soccer Club. We provide the opportunity to play recreational soccer and competitive soccer to youth from 4-18 in our local area.
This year our club even has a u15 girls team that won the Pennsylvania Presidents cup. These are all local "home grown" girls that started in our local club as 4- or 5-year olds.

We are super proud of that team which is the first competitive team that our club put together about 6 years ago.
We now have over 600 recreational players per season and about 100 players on competitive teams.
We offer need based scholarships for all levels of play.

We also sponsor Penn Manor Softball and Baseball!


The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia

The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, officially The Right Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania and Masonic Jurisdictions Thereunto Belonging, is the premier masonic organization in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Grand Lodge claims to be the oldest in the United States, and the third oldest in the world after England (est. 1717) and Ireland (est. 1725), having been originally established as the Provincial Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in 1731. This claim is disputed by both the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts and the Grand Lodge of Virginia.

(They are of course wrong, but we love them as our fraternal Brothers regardless and wish them well on their journey of education!)
