History

Long Beach Lodge No. 327 F&AM originally begun in 1896 and occupied a space in a bank building on Pine Avenue in downtown Long Beach when the City of Long Beach was a small town by the beach. Since then, several thousand good men have come through its doors and incorporated the teachings of Freemasonry into their lives, thus bettering themselves and our society.
Just over 60 years ago the Lodge moved into its current location on Locust Ave. Built by men of vision, our current Masonic Facility has served numerous Lodges, and other Masonic affiliated groups with beauty and distinction.
Today, Long Beach Lodge has a membership just under three hundred and fifty. It meets the first Thursday evening of the month for its Stated Meeting and the subsequent Thursdays evenings are for degrees and social functions.
In addition to being part of an ancient fraternity as a brotherhood, we participate in a variety of community support efforts throughout the year. Our members are proud of their fraternity and the legacy of Freemasonry.

A Little About Us

Long Beach Lodge began when Long Beach was just a little city near the beach on a floor above a bank in 1896.

June message from the Master

Brethren,

We’ve had a very good year so far.  It’s hard to believe it is nearly halfway over.  As mentioned in our last stated meeting, we scheduled and had our bowling outing where we partnered with International City Lodge at Valley View Lanes.  There was a good turnout and the final score was essentially, a tie.  We’ll be doing this again soon so please keep an eye on the lodge Calendar for the next event.

We held our annual Breakfast in June, as well.  Thank you for all those who contributed to its success.  

We will be holding a Masonic Memorial Service on Saturday June 22nd at 11am, for our recently departed, Brother Maurice Astley.  It’ll likely be a short service we all would like to have a good turnout to support Brother Astley’s family.   His family members attending will, for the most part, be coming from out of state.  I hope as many of you can be in attendance.  This service was one of his last requests

 Fraternally,
Dean West
Master

June message from the Senior Warden

Brethren,

Time flies, and we are already approaching the halfway point of our Masonic year. This past month, we had the pleasure of hosting the OSI, where our brothers excelled in demonstrating the 3rd Degree, Second Section. If you are interested in serving the lodge and becoming an officer for the 2025 Masonic Year, please reach out to me. I look forward to an outstanding month of June with our lodge.

“Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.” – Benjamin Franklin

Fraternally,
Harry Bugarin
Senior Warden

June message from the Junior Warden

Brethren,

We are in mid-year already and the lodge has some improvements in the building that you should see and enjoy. Along with that, we have incoming and advancing brothers that need our support and guidance. Your consistent presence in the lodge will give them encouragement and inspiration as they continue their life journey in masonry.

Rekindle the good fellowship you had before with the brothers and continue it with our new members who always look forward to seeing you.

Fraternally,

Dave Romero
Junior Warden
