Participants' feedback
|
“The Certificate of Masonic Studies is a great way to make a Daily Advancement in Freemasonry. Learn where Freemasonry came from, and its development through the ages. Meet other freemasons with the same learning interests as you. After your raising this is the next step in your Masonic education and the great thing is you learn at your own pace.”
