Each Masonic organization operates independently from other Masonic bodies and holds unique opportunities for self-improvement, fellowship, and charitable activities. Many Master Masons enjoy belonging to multiple Masonic organizations, such as Shriners International or York Rite Freemasonry, to expand their network of Brothers and explore the teachings of Freemasonry further, helping them to better understand how to apply Freemasonry's principles to their own life.
