Inspire our members by emphasizing our Core Values: Reverence for God, Devotion to Country, Integrity, Justice, Toleration 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
Toleration
