— Discover Yourself. —
Welcome to Oceanside – San Dieguito Lodge No. 381 F.&A.M., a traditional Blue Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of the State of California.
Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth
Freemasonry takes good men and provides them the moral framework, fellowship, and philosophical tools to become even better husbands, fathers, leaders, and citizens.
Brotherly Love
Regarding the human species as one family, Freemasonry unites men of every country, sect, and opinion. We cultivate true friendship and support among brothers across generations.
Relief & Charity
To relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent on all men. Through the California Masonic Foundation and local North County outreach, we extend benevolence to brothers, widows, and our community.
Truth & Light
Truth is a divine attribute and the foundation of virtue. Masons seek intellectual illumination, moral integrity, self-mastery, and unyielding honesty in all business and social dealings.
Welcome to Oceanside – San Dieguito Lodge No. 381
On behalf of the brothers and fellows of Oceanside – San Dieguito Lodge No. 381, welcome! We are honored by your interest in our Lodge and in Freemasonry. Oceanside 381 is a traditional Blue Lodge located at 511 Eucalyptus St,
Oceanside, CA 92054, in North County San Diego, California.
Our Lodge holds its business meetings at 7:00 PM on the first Monday of each month. A dinner is held at 6:00 PM which the public, prospects, applicants, members, Masonic visitors, their ladies and friends are welcome to attend with an RSVP.

“Freemasonry teaches love and kindness in the home; honesty and fitness in business; courtesy in social contracts; resistance to wickedness; trust and confidence in good men; forgiveness toward the penitent; love toward one another; and, above all, reverence for the Supreme Being, based on a firm belief in the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man and the Immortality of the Soul.”
The Heritage of Freemasonry
Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and largest fraternal organizations — a society of men bound together by shared moral purpose, ritual tradition, and a commitment to making good men better.
Ancient Origins
Freemasonry's roots trace to the medieval stonemason guilds of Europe — cathedral builders who guarded the secrets of their craft. The first Grand Lodge was formed in London in 1717, giving structure to the fraternity we recognize today.
Spanning the Globe
From its London birthplace, Freemasonry spread across continents. Today, millions of Masons meet in lodges from every nation of the free world — united by the same working tools, oaths, and landmarks regardless of language or creed.
An Enduring Legacy
For over three centuries, Freemasonry has shaped leaders, patriots, and philanthropists. Its principles of brotherhood, relief, and truth have endured revolutions, world wars, and the rise and fall of empires — a living tradition carried forward by every lodge.

For over three centuries, the Craft has counted among its brothers presidents, patriots, artists, scientists, and explorers who shaped the course of human history.
