Excelsior Initiative Presents "Journey ON with Pathfinder" on June 16th

5/10/2022

 
Our journey and search for Masonic light began in the Blue Lodge. After being raised to the Sublime degree of a Master Mason, the world of Freemasonry opened wide for us. When we chose to join the Scottish Rite, NMJ, our 29 degrees offered the “Journey of a Lifetime” as we pursued further light in Freemasonry.

Recently introduced, the Pathfinder program is designed to help you continue your Masonic journey, seek more light, and uncover the road that leads to the most personally fulfilling membership experience possible. Learn more here - https://scottishritenmj.org/pathfinder

The Buffalo Chapter of Rose Croix held its degree night of 2022 at the Valley of Buffalo (VOB) building, Cheektowaga NY, on Friday April 1. The evening started with a 4˚ video presentation to a couple of new members who started their Scottish Rite journey. It was followed by a 17˚ Video presentation, after a catered dinner, introduction of dignitaries, and announcements from the CIC Distinguished Brother Albert Luss, 32˚ MSA. MWM Illustrious Selom Adjogah 33˚, after a minute of silence in honor of Illustrious Stephen Whittaker, 33˚ Active Emeritus of SCNMJ, Past Minister of State and Honorary Member of the VOB, whose funeral service was held in Rochester earlier that afternoon, welcomed and introduced the Active for the Valley of Buffalo, Illustrious Richard Powell, 33˚ who made his remarks to the attendees.

The 18˚ was then conferred live on 13 candidates including 3 visiting brothers from the Valley of Coudersport, PA. It was the highlight of the event. It was very well received and highly praised as all feedbacks were positive. Congratulations to our new Knights of Rose Croix and special thanks and appreciation to the cast and support team for another job well done.

JOINT STATEMENT PROMOTES VISITATION BETWEEN VALLEYS REGARDLESS OF JURISDICTION

4/5/2022

 

My Brothers All,

Sovereign Grand Commanders James D. Cole of the Southern Jurisdiction 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.
