Our Lodge
Amidst the sanctified halls of Robert Burns Lodge No.59, located in Las Vegas, we aspire to transcend the temporal realm and elevate our brethren, both seasoned and neophyte, to a divine plane of existence. We labor tirelessly to imbue our rituals with the elusive essence of perfection, cognizant that such an ideal is but an unattainable dream for mere mortals.
We hold fast to the belief that the path of freemasonry is a profound and wondrous journey, one that demands that each step be taken with due reverence and contemplation. To this end, we honor the power of symbols, recognizing that their meanings must be deciphered with great care and attention.
Our sacred union is bound by a commitment to intimacy and solidarity, finding strength in the modest scale of our gatherings. We revel in the profound beauty of music, which accompanies us on our quest for enlightenment. We cherish the opportunity to delve deeply into the mysteries of our craft, ever mindful that our attire and demeanor must be a fitting tribute to the sublime nature of our pursuits.
Our meetings are conducted with a solemnity befitting our high calling, and yet we never forget that the bond between our brethren is a source of joy and celebration. Thus, our Concordias are infused with conviviality and mirth, a testament to the enduring power of brotherhood.
