The Order of the Amaranth is a fraternal and philanthropic organization comprised of both men and women with Masonic affiliation. The purpose of the Order is social and philanthropic. Although belief in God is requisite for joining our order, Amaranth is not a religious organization, and many different faiths are represented. In our teachings, the members are reminded of their duties to God, to their country, and to their fellow beings. They are urged to portray their belief in the “Golden Rule” and in TRUTH, FAITH, WISDOM, and CHARITY, the virtues of our order, while extending the hand of fraternal friendship to those in need.
