From humble beginnings to a global leader in medicine, the Mayo family left a lasting mark on the world.

Dr. William W. Mayo, a member of Rochester Lodge No. 21, and his sons helped establish what would become the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Mayo’s commitment to Masonic values, including service to others and the community, helped shape the family’s approach to medicine.

Today, the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research are internationally recognized for excellence in medical care, education, and research.

A legacy of service that continues to make a difference.

Integrity. Service. Brotherhood. Freemasonry.

These are more than words. They are principles we strive to live by every day.

Through our actions, our service to others, and the bonds we share as Brothers, we work to make a difference in our communities and in the lives of those around us.

That is the strength of Ohio Freemasonry.

Today’s Monday Mason is Brother Brian Young from Stonecutter Lodge No. 802. Bro. Young is a Restaurateur, Husband, Father and Proud Freemason.

How has your family benefited from your involvement in the Masonic fraternity?

Before I petitioned Stonecutter Lodge No. 802, hard work had stopped being a virtue and had become my vice. As a chef and butcher, I was hyper-focused on my career, and I told myself the long hours were for my family. In reality I was coming home too tired and too irritable to be a loving husband, a present and patient father, or even a reliable friend. Freemasonry gave me the working tools to actually examine my relationship to work. It taught me to divide my time on purpose - for work, for family, and for actual rest; instead of letting work take it all. I made a huge change. I’m more intentional now, and the difference at home is real. I’m calmer, I listen better, and I show up. My wife and kids would tell you the same, and they’d also tell you that becoming a Mason is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Freemasonry isn’t magic, it didn’t give me more hours in the day; but it did teach me how to use the ones I have.

Chartered in 1855, Bellevue Lodge earned its nickname for a reason, one tied to Ohio's rail history and the Brothers who passed through its doors over the decades.

Today, the lodge looks a little different, but the spirit of brotherhood hasn't changed a bit.

Brothers, one of our favorite things about Mason Monday is seeing Ohio Masons recognize and support one another.

Who is a Brother in your lodge or community who deserves a little recognition?

Nominate him to be featured in an upcoming Mason Monday post!

Just email Bro. Jim Hieb at [email protected] with a few words about who you’re nominating and why.

Let’s keep celebrating the Brothers who make Ohio Freemasonry strong.

What an incredible few months it has been for Freemasonry in Ohio!

From May through July, Most Worshipful Brother Shawn Johnson hosted his Grand Master’s One Day Classes at eight locations across the state. Brothers gathered in Canton, Dayton, Berea, Chillicothe, Tiffin, Gallipolis, Cambridge, and Columbus to welcome men who were ready to take their first steps into our fraternity.

By the end of the summer, more than 800 men had become Master Masons through these One Day Classes.

That is something worth celebrating.

Leroy "Gordo" Cooper Jr. was flying his family's plane by age eight and went on to pilot the longest Mercury spaceflight before commanding Gemini 5 in 1965.

A Master Mason and member of Luther B. Turner Lodge No. 732 right here in Columbus, Ohio, Cooper carried a Scottish Rite banner with him into space.

From Shawnee, Oklahoma to Earth orbit, Brother Cooper's story is a reminder that Masons show up in every corner, even among the stars.

In honor of National Aviation Day, we're celebrating Brother Cooper's legacy.

Today’s Monday Mason is Brother Al Behnke from Lima Lodge No. 205. Bro. Behnke is a Stationary Engineer (retired). Husband (50+ years). Father. Proud Freemason.

What was it about Freemasonry that made you want to join?

What made me want to join Freemasonry was it being an organization which helped men (e.g. masonic brothers) and families when they were in need. Additionally, it has been a great joy to meet new folks traveling and attending masonic events throughout the state.

NOTE: Bro. Behnke is a 44 year member of the fraternity. He has served both as Worshipful Master of his lodge and the Grand Lodge of Ohio as a District Deputy Grand Master.
