Masonic Values

Freemasonry takes men of good character and encourages them to grow, lead, and make a positive difference in the world.

Welcome to our Lodge, Guiding Star

Guiding Star Lodge No. 922 is based in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, and today we are proud to have more than 70 members from diverse ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.

We are actively involved in the Ballarat community, supporting a wide range of local organisations through charitable contributions and fundraising efforts. Our Lodge also enjoys a vibrant social calendar, bringing together members, their families, and friends—past and present.

Consecrated on 22 May 1999, Guiding Star Lodge was formed through the amalgamation of Hope No. 274, Orion No. 53, and Sebastopol No. 63—three of Ballarat’s oldest Lodges with a combined history spanning more than 345 years. We are proudly chartered under the United Grand Lodge of Victoria.

We invite you to explore our website and discover the many resources and links we’ve provided, including information about Freemasonry and items of general community interest.
