It is in the 19th Century that happens the great changes in Europe; and, in the long run, we can see in the World. The new ideas tend to renew Brazilian s society in many aspects, including religious one. The Masonry is considered an institution that works in the society based on its motto: Freedom, Iqualility, Brotherhood. So, in history development, we can see its influence on plenty of events. Maybe the French Revolution is the great one. Its arriving to Brazil is through the students that will put in practice those ideas that are occurring in Europe. In this atmosphere of changes that gospels immigrants arrive in Brazilian place and start their religious activities, achieving space through the help of the masons and Masonry Story; something that can be clearly observed in this paper. Therefore, we conclude with the definition of the Masonry in Brazil, mostly through the Presbyterianism, was such important to consolidate and development of this reformed tradition in Brazil until nowdays.
