To all who visit our site, Welcome.

I extend fraternal greetings to all on behalf of the Officers and over 500 members of Shidle Lodge No. 601 Free and Accepted Masons, Irwin, Pennsylvania.

I am very pleased that you took the time to visit our site and sincerely hope that you have found your visit an enjoyable and informative experience. This site is an ever expanding repository of information and source of fraternal communication.

Freemasonry is one of the oldest and most prestigious fraternities for men in the world. If you are not a Mason, I trust you will find the information provided on this site and the associated sites informative and helpful. I hope it may encourage you to consider Freemasonry as a fraternity worthy of your consideration. Please be aware that a Freemason can not solicit for membership in our Ancient and Honorable Fraternity. You must ask a Mason to be a Mason. Click HERE for additional information.

Our web site is a valuable, up-to-date service for our members, their families, their friends, and the public. Other services of our Fraternity, charities and communications may be found by following the link to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania from our home page.

It remains my hope that we will continue to meet your need for information through this effort. I invite you to sign our guest book and give us your comments on this site. If you have suggestions on ways we can improve our site, please contact our Webmaster.

Please visit our site every chance you have.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Lon A. Walp
Worshipful Master
