What We Do

While it would be easy to say, "We take good men and make them better," the question remains: What is better?

In a way, we are no different from many other charitable organizations. We believe in helping those around us. However, it is more than one area of interest. We contribute upwards of $3 million daily to various charities and charitable organizations without being part of a religious organization. Nor are we mainstream. We have deep-rooted traditions and precepts by which we live. Many belong to churches of our areas, but this is separate from what we do in lodge because one only has to believe in God to be a Mason. Ultimately, due to God's gift of life, we have to live, work, and play to make this gift better, as men, for all.

Now, with that being said, the question still remains: What do we do? We work in our communities. We serve our families. We strive to encourage good men to not just be good but to live with purpose and to help improve humanity as a whole with our minds, abilities, and resources. We do this by donating not only a portion of our livelihood but also a portion of our time. Below are some of our local charitable efforts.

College Scholarships and

the Lamar Award

We offer academic scholarships to students regardless of race, creed, religion, or masonic affiliation. Simply put, we choose to invest in young minds who we believe will be productive members of society for the betterment and contribution of all.

The Lamar Award, named after the "Father of Education in Texas," 1838 Republic of Texas President Mirabeau Lamar, is reserved for the up-and-coming graduate: a third-year student who excels in a well-rounded growth path towards a stellar graduating year. It is one of the highest non-monetary awards given for academic excellence!

Fantastic Teeth Program

Each year, we provide toothpaste kits to the first-grade children of Goliad Elementary in an effort to reinforce the oral hygiene programs taught in health! This is a statewide effort in which many Masonic lodges take the time to place a toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, floss, and more into a small travel pouch for the children.

School Supplies for Students of Goliad

Goliad Masonic Lodge #94 is pleased to announce that we have successfully distributed 100 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to the students of Goliad County. This initiative was a heartfelt effort to support our local community and ensure every child has the tools they need for a successful school year.

Each backpack was thoughtfully packed with notebooks, pencils, markers, and other classroom necessities to help students start the school year with confidence and excitement.

The Community Builder Award

This award acknowledges the hard work and dedication of a non-Mason member of our community who gives of themselves for the common good.
