My Brothers All,

Sovereign Grand Commanders James D. Cole and I released a joint statement encouraging visitation between the jurisdictions. Together, we wish to encourage all of our members, wherever so disbursed and no matter where your Scottish Rite roots are planted, to continually enhance your personal Masonic journey by seeking Masonic light from wherever it shines. Therefore, we strongly promote and encourage the sharing of Masonic Fellowship between our Valleys and their members. While there are some differences, much between our jurisdictions is the same. Feel free to make your own comparisons and draw your own conclusions. But above all, enjoy the fellowship of Scottish Rite Freemasonry with your cross jurisdictional Brothers. And as always, Journey On.


Peter J. Samiec, 33º
Sovereign Grand Commander

 

To promote the advancement of fraternal harmony we've issued the memorandum below.

Freemasons are known as traveling men, traveling from the west to the source of light in the east. Men of the Scottish Rite continue the path towards enlightenment by journeying through each of our 29 degrees, using our six core values as guiding stars.
Together, we Journey On, knowing that as Scottish Rite Masons, there is always more to feel, to share, to strive for.
Introducing our new anthemic campaign: Journey On. Watch and share our video below, then explore our site to learn more:
