The second, or Fellowcraft Degree in Freemasonry, is symbolic of the advancement of your mind. As an Entered Apprentice Mason, you are taught the beginnings of Freemasonry, and the manner in which to use your working tools. In this degree, science and intellect are emphasized to teach young Brothers to conduct themselves in a manner that impacts the whole of humanity in a positive way.

Each Fellowcraft Mason who successfully completes this initiation will begin to learn the catechism of the Fellowcraft Degree. This catechism is a question and answer forum that teaches the Fellowcraft Mason to comprehend all that has occurred in this degree and the uses of his working tools. Once he can complete this catechism with proficiency, he will be raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason.
