The Widows Sons is an
International Masonic Motorcycle Association comprised of
Freemasons. The purpose of founding the Widows Sons is to aid and
assist widows and orphans of Master Masons. This is done by forming
a widow’s fund within the Grand Chapter to contribute to the aid of
widows in our state, by donating to the Grand Master's Widows and
Orphans Fund. No other fund should take precedence over providing
for our
widow’s fund. We were founded in 1998 for the sole purpose of aiding
and assisting widows. If you are interested in our purpose, please
contact us.
Any widow of a master mason should contact the Widows Sons Grand
Chapter in your state for assistance when you are in need. They were
founded for this purpose.
In 2001, two years after our founding, a second and third purpose
was added to the bylaws. The second was to provide a social and
fraternal outlet for Freemasons who ride and desire to socialize
with and travel the open roads with their brethren. The third was to
introduce Freemasonry to the world of motorcycles and motorcycling
to the world of Freemasonry. The second and third purposes are very
distant second and third purposes, far behind the aiding and
assisting of widows, and these should not take precedence over our
founding purpose of aiding and assisting widows of master masons.

Important Notice To All Chapters:The Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association has taken an important step in securing our future as an association and has opened the door to many new possibilities and positive benefits for our membership. Informational packets are being prepared for distribution to our chapters which will explain these exciting new changes. This website is in the process of being retooled in order to provide more information and member resources and will be updated within the next month. Please check back for further developments. In order for each jurisdiction and chapter to receive the informational packets we will need a current mailing address for each jurisdiction. If your mailing address has changed, please use our Contact Form to update your information. Note: An edict was issued by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts on December 11, 2013 which prohibits members of the Massachusetts Grand Lodge from being a member of the Widows Sons. More information will be posted as it becomes available. The Widows Sons in the State of Texas have been subject to a similar edict since 2007 and our brethren have failed to resolve their issues with the Grand Lodge of Texas. Be advised that due to the edict, the State of Texas is not considered to be a part of this association and should not be recognized as such.
