The Masonic Lodge "Bon Accord" No. 41 in Berne is under the jurisdiction of the Swiss Grand Lodge ALPINA (SGLA).
It works in the English emulation ritual (see Emulation), which is restricted to Lodge meetings - there are no "conferences" as in the majority of Swiss Lodges. As a rule, meetings take place on the fourth Friday of the months
February, March, April, May, June, October and November
The masonic year opens on the fourth Saturday of January with the Installation ceremony and closes with an end-of-year social gathering in the first half of December, which is not an official meeting. (see Calendar, subject to alterations). July, August and September are holiday months; however, during this period an excursion or Ladies' Night may be organised.
Reflecting the Lodge's cosmopolitan origins, the ritual may be performed in German, French or English, but the usual language is German.
The aim of our masonic existence is to promote true and genuine humanity in harmonious, fraternal surroundings. We hope by these efforts to contribute towards the enlightenment and development of mankind.
This involves mutual instruction and the preservation of humanity's most important ethical and cultural values, as well as the promotion of high ideals, the fulfilment of social obligations, charity and fostering love at all levels.
