Inspire our members by emphasizing our Core Values: Reverence for God, Devotion to Country, Integrity, Justice, Tolerance and Service. Ensure that activities are convenient. Provide enjoyable programs and fraternal fellowship.

Inspiration – Convenience – Enjoyment

Our Values

32° Scottish Rite Masonry expands upon the fundamental principles of Freemasonry, exploring Masonic teachings more deeply. Building upon the ethical and philosophical teachings of the blue lodge, 32° Scottish Rite Freemasonry reveals a wealth of knowledge about Masonry not found in the other degrees. It seeks to enrich the philosophy of the Symbolic Lodge in order to help good men become even better.

A member of 32° Scottish Rite Freemasonry seeks to:
  • Aid mankind’s search for identity and destiny in God’s universe
  • Produce wiser men in a wiser world, happier men in a happier world, and therefore better men in a better world
  • Promote the dignity of every person and the humanity in all activities
Our core values are:
  • Reverence for God
  • Devotion to Country
  • Integrity
  • Justice
  • Tolerance
  • Service to Humanity
