New to Dallas?
Are you a Mason new to Dallas and are wanting to find a new lodge? We would love for you to come visit JPL. Maybe you are considering joining the Fraternity. We would love to answer your questions and see if we are a good fit for you.
We are very different from what you might expect. Most of us are young professionals 25 to 40 years old. Although Dockers and Oxford style shirts are the norm for our socials and informal meetings, suits and sport coats are to be expected at our Stated Meetings and degrees. We will, of course, welcome you to visit us in whatever attire you please. We just want you to know how we dress for our meetings.
We take our work seriously, and don't cut corners. So if you are looking for what we sometimes call Masonry "lite", let us know so that we can direct you to a lodge that will be more toward your liking.
JPL is named after the youngest Grand Master of Masons in Texas, and we continue to reflect his youth, competence and zeal. Click here to find out more about Bro. Lightfoot.
