Welcome to the home page of Alpha Lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, located at 404 Concord Street in Framingham, Massachusetts.

We meet every 4th Monday, September through June

As a lodge of Freemasons, we are part of the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world, an organization that is dedicated to the basic tenets of friendship, morality, and brotherly love. Alpha Lodge was formally constituted on November 13, 1876, and has been quietly serving the Framingham community since its inception. Part of our mission, and every Masonic lodge's mission, is to "make good men better" to serve our families, fraternity, faith, communities, and country. Alpha Lodge operates by charter under the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Massachusetts.

Inquire

The first step to becoming a Freemason, especially if you don't know any, is to get to know some of us. Becoming a Freemason is a very personal decision and is not a right fit for everyone. We want to get to know you to make sure Masonry is right for you, and you should get to know us to understand if we are the right lodge for you.

Engage

We meet once each month and start by sitting down together to share a meal. We spend time catching up but will often have a presentation or discussion of an educational, historical, or philosphical nature. While meetings are reserved for only those who are Freemasons, guests and visitors are warmly received for dinner, by invitation.

Ask

No one is asked to become a Freemason. This is not a society that has been privately selected by invitation only. Our Fraternity is built on free-minded men who seek out and ask to be made a Mason. Once you have gotten to know some of the members, ask for a petition. They will let you know if they think it is right for you and the right time to join.

Petition

Once you fill out your petition, you will be expected to give references to vouch for your character and values. This is one reason it is so important to get to know some of the members. After you have your petition submitted, several members will be assigned to your request and will meet with you to explore your interest and provide answer to any remaining questions.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Brother, Eliot Lurier, to the solestial lodge above. Brother Lurier served Alpha Lodge quietly but made an impact on all who knew him. He was respected by all, a mentor to many, and a friend and beloved brother in the lodge and beyond.

"On December Eighth, Eliot Lurier, a pillar of wisdom and strength, passed away in his home suddenly at the age of sixty-six. He was a beloved and cherished husband, father, and friend whose presence brought warmth and guidance to those who knew him. Eliot's unwavering and fierce love and dedication to his family was defining of his life. He leaves behind his devoted wife & soulmate Amy, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and partnership. His daughters Emily and Hannah were the pride of his life. His legacy of integrity, responsibility and kindheartedness lives on through them. He was also a caring father-in-law to Emily's husband, Ben and Hannah's Fiancé, Kyle, whom he welcomed into the family with open arms. Their presence enriched his life, and their love was always cherished by Eliot. Eliot bravely battled type I diabetes throughout the vast majority of his life, showing staunch resilience and determination through many of the challenges surrounding what he often referred to as 'his disease'. He found great joy in caring for his family and home including their beloved dog Gus, creating a beautiful environment filled with love, some barking and much laughter. Countless friends and loved ones will remember his ability to light up a room with his hilarious and infectious sense of humor. A man of boundless generosity, Eliot's impact extended far beyond his family. His career in finance and passion for caring for those with diabetes led him to become CFO of Joslin Diabetes Center, a position he was passionate and dedicated to for ten years. His wisdom, sense of humor, and unwavering support will be dearly missed by his family, friends and many acquaintances he made throughout his long career. Although Eliot's physical form is no longer with us, his memory will continue to shine brightly in our hearts and bring us joy when we think of the time that was taken from him and the moments not yet shared. Let us honor the values he held dear and carry forward his legacy of love and kindness. Services honoring and celebrating Eliot's life will be held at 12:30PM at the Levine Chapel, 470 Harvard St, Brookline, MA 02446 Shiva will be held at the Lurier residence Monday to Friday 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm & 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm."
