How To Join
How do you become a member of the NJ Lodge of Masonic Research and Education? Quite simply by asking!
The New Jersey Masonic Lodge of Research and Education, F. & A. M., is a subordinate lodge instituted to foster and expand knowledge of the history and philosophy of the craft by encouraging masonic study and research, thereby assisting the Grand Lodge in its diffusion of masonic light and education by publishing masonic information and educational material.
Meetings are held quarterly on the second Saturday of each March, June, September, and December at 9:30am in Hightstown, NJ with the exception of our officer installation which is held in Trenton. .
Subjects presented during the talks range from the history of Masonry (in New Jersey and in general) to the meaning of our symbols, Masonry’s place in and contribution to society, Masonic philosophy, and the current state and future of Freemasonry.

Membership is open to all Master Masons in good standing. The fee is $25.00 and dues are $25.00 per year.
