INVICTUS LODGE 9960
MILITARY FREEMASONS IN YORK
Freemasonry: a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual values
Our members learn the principles of proper behaviour and self-knowledge through a series of ritual dramas that follow ancient forms as guides to further understanding.
About Us
We meet in York 6 times a year at St Saviourgate Masonic Centre, St Saviourgate, York, YO1 8NQ, in the Province of Yorkshire, North and East Ridings.
The Lodge is open to men who are serving in HM Forces or Veterans. If you have missed the camaraderie of the forces since leaving, then we could be for you.
