Stanislav Stempovskyi supported the aspirations of Ukrainians for independence and statehood. His history and figure acts as a symbol of the bridge on on a solid foundation, a transition between countries, brothers and a faith that influenced the entire Masonic world, it imprinted the unbreakable support of Ukrainian Freemasonry by Polish brothers. The perfect shape of the stone bridge symbolizes the fraternal chain that goes through the ages, and each stone in it is a brother who has contributed to the development of joint relations between our countries. "Unitum Lux" - united by light, designed to recreate and strengthen the relationship between Ukraine and Poland as two independent European states, regardless of challenges from the outside. And strengthen the fraternal chain for ages.

Freemasonry is an ancient moral-ethical, philosophical system that opens in allegories and symbols with the help of cognition himself. This is a social practice of human construction and free brotherhood. We, with deep respect the history and figure of Stanislav Stempovsky, inspired by his achievements among the brothers of Ukraine and Poland, we wish to continue his work. The principles of respect and equality are also in the fact that everyone of us, being in the box, addresses God as the Great Architect of the Universe, but each continues to profess the religious views with which he entered the lodge. Freemasonry is not a religion, Masonic philosophy affects only ethics and morality, so we strive to build order, which we consider as a dialectical law of self-organization of the objective world, harmony and harmony.

We strive for the affirmation of meanings and values ​​- ideas of social harmony and modernization: Freedom - Equality - Fraternities are the same as professed by S. Stempovsky Freemasonry educates a person who participates in the construction of an independent, free society, where law and order will reign. We believe that by changing himself, a freemason thereby changes the world and qualities in himself - conviction in the knowledge of the surrounding world, prompts him to the need for self-knowledge. Therefore, knowledge of the world for us begins with systems of symbolic keys that provide access to the understanding of the laws of the universe. Moral improvement requires moral purity, it is a condition for the possibility of knowledge and understanding metaphysical principles of the world system, we do not impose our light, but we are always ready to share it with a person of good repute when she wants it.
