Grand Master Classes 2026

An Unforgettable Opportunity for New Freemasons

This Summer, MWB Grand Master Shawn A. Johnson authorized eight one-day Grand Master’s Classes. These classes offer candidates the chance to witness all three Degrees in one day and become a Master Mason.

All inquiries will be referred to a lodge near you which will handle questions, petitions, and registration. Each accepted candidate will be assigned a mentor for the event. See a full schedule of events below, or click the button to begin your journey as a Freemason.
