MSA: Because Masonry Matters
Who are We?
The Masonic Service Association of North America (MSANA) was formed in 1919
to provide services to its member Grand Lodges that they would find difficult
to provide for themselves. Thus the national voice that the MSA has is dedicated
to Service to the Masonic community.
The primary functions and activities of the MSANA are:
Disaster Relief - since 1923 the MSA has collected and forwarded
funds for disasters around the world.
Service - The Masonic Service Association of
North America is a servant of Freemasonry. Formed of and supported by Grand
Lodges, it is a voice that they can move to action, that the great heart of
the Fraternity be made manifest and that the will of a united Craft may be
done.
For more information about the MSANA,

Secretary.
