If you’re exploring Freemasonry in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, or the surrounding Niagara Region, you might be wondering:
“What’s the best Masonic lodge near me?”
That’s a great question — and while we’re proud to be one of the oldest and most active lodges in the region, the truth is, there’s no one “best” lodge — only the best lodge for you.
Why St. George’s Lodge No. 15 Stands Out
St. George’s Lodge No. 15, meeting in the heart of Downtown St. Catharines, has a proud history dating back over 200 years. Our lodge is known for:
Warm, Welcoming Members
We pride ourselves on being friendly, fun, and not taking ourselves too seriously. Whether you’re new to Freemasonry or a seasoned Mason relocating to the Niagara Region, we hope you’ll feel at home here.
Vibrant Masonic Tradition
With a history of over 200 years, we work to maintain ritual excellence and take pride in passing on the teachings of Freemasonry with meaning and care.
Community Engagement
We support local charities, attend events across the Niagara Peninsula, and contribute to the betterment of our city.
Convenient Meeting Nights
We meet on the second Tuesday of the Month, making it easy for working professionals, parents, and students to attend.
Accessible Location
Our lodge is centrally located in St. Catharines and easily accessible from Niagara Falls, Welland, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Grimsby.
Finding the Lodge That’s Right for You
While we’d love to welcome you to St. George’s No. 15, we also understand that Freemasonry is a deeply personal journey. The best lodge for you might depend on a few important factors:
Availability: Does the lodge meet on a night you’re free consistently?
Compatibility: Have you had the chance to meet the members and feel a connection?
Comfort: Do you feel at home when you visit the building or speak with its members?
There are several great lodges across the Niagara Region — each with their own unique character. We encourage you to visit a few, ask questions, and get a feel for the one that best aligns with your goals and personality.

Final Thoughts: The “Best Lodge” is the Lodge That Feels Right
St. George’s Lodge No. 15 is proud of its heritage, its members, and its role in the Masonic community — but we also know that every lodge offers something different. The best lodge in Niagara is the one where you feel you are the best version of yourself.
We hope it’s with us — but more importantly, we hope you find the right Masonic path for you.
