Chartered by the Grand Lodge of Texas, A.F. & A.M.

Texas Freemasonry
on the Moon

On July 20, 1969, Brother Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. carried a Special Deputation to the Sea of Tranquility, claiming Masonic territorial jurisdiction for the Grand Lodge of Texas. Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 was chartered to commemorate it — and to put that jurisdiction to work funding benevolence for children worldwide.

"Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 was established to promote, conduct, and foster the humanitarian principles of Freemasonry for all people — improving education, health, and welfare so that worldwide benevolence may flow to worthy organizations that make life better for children on Earth."

Help keep Texas Masonic benevolence flowing — from the Moon down.

The Lodge was created by the Grand Lodge of Texas at the Grand Annual Communication on December 2–4, 1999. Membership is open to any Master Mason in good standing, in Texas or a jurisdiction in fraternal relations with it, for a one-time $100 joining fee plus $25 in annual dues — or a one-time $500 Endowed Membership that waives dues for life. Dues rise to $35/year ($700 Endowed) on January 1, 2027.
