Who we are and how we work

Respectable Symbolic Lodge Memento Mori No. 107 is a lodge of ancient, free and accepted Masons meeting in Chihuahua City under the jurisdiction of the Noble, Loyal and Centenary Grand Lodge "Cosmos" of the State of Chihuahua. We gather to cultivate fraternity, symbolic study and moral improvement through ritual, philosophical reflection and the orderly fellowship that defines the craft. Locally, the lodge belongs to a network of regular Masons who uphold mutual trust and discreet civic responsibility, always within the bylaws of the Grand Lodge and without profit motive or proselytizing outside practices recognized by the institution.

What we do in Chihuahua

Regular meetings (tenidas) are held on Tuesday evenings at times confirmed by the secretary to members and reflected on this site’s contact page. They include ritual and educational work typical of a symbolic lodge: proficiency exercises when appropriate, short talks and respectful discussion of universal ethical principles and the heritage of the craft. Outside the lodge room we do not recruit like a sales campaign; inquiries grow from informed curiosity, maturity and introductions within the regulatory framework. This site only orientates and routes first contact—the fuller experience belongs to the lodge’s internal labor.

Typical expectations (for guidance only)

Each petitioner is considered individually. The points below summarize usual expectations in Mexican regular Freemasonry and in our jurisdiction; they do not replace internal regulations or the sovereign decisions of the lodge.

• Be an adult man of good reputation who chooses to petition freely after reflection.
• Profess belief in a Supreme Creator (Great Architect of the Universe), as required by regular Freemasonry.
• Have genuine availability to attend meetings in Chihuahua punctually and fulfill duties and dues determined by the lodge.
• Avoid serious moral or legal disqualifications under Mexican law and the statutes of Grand Lodge Cosmos.
• Approach with motives of study, integrity and service—not material gain, political leverage or shallow prestige.
• Accept internal discipline and respect for the discreet sphere proper to the craft, without confusing confidentiality with lack of public ethics.
• Understand that submitting the form creates no right to admission; acceptance rests solely with the lodge by secret ballot.

General path of approach

1. Read this site and the contact page carefully; reflect whether symbolic regular Freemasonry aligns with your personal values.
2. Open first contact through the application form on the Becoming a Freemason page, the secretary’s email or the phone listed on Contact, stating calmly your motivation and availability in the city.
3. Participate in interviews or introductory meetings arranged by the secretary or officers; mutual acquaintance or references may be requested.
4. Where applicable, complete observation or preparatory instruction according to the ritual and bylaws in force under Grand Lodge Cosmos.
5. If the lodge agrees, a secret ballot of qualified Masons present follows; only a favorable outcome advances formal initiatory work.
