Sovereign Prince Update:

 

Happy Holidays everyone! Today marks the first official day of the winter season. I trust you all have been able to get into the holiday spirit as we share these precious moments with our families, our friends, our co-workers, and the rest of the world at large. 

 

For those of you who celebrated Hanukkah last week, I hope it was the best one you've experienced to date. For those who will be celebrating the Christmas holiday this upcoming week, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

 

This is truly a special time of year; families gather together not only to exchange gifts, but to enjoy the company of one another as we look forward to the dawn of a new year, ripe with new challenges, experiences, and opportunities for us all. 

 

There is no better time than now to reflect upon what being a Scottish Rite Mason means to each of us, and what impact our experiences in this organization have made on us to this point. Moving forward, we all hope to continue to offer the best Scottish Rite experience as is humanly possible.

 

Check out some information about the upcoming degree class below, as well as some news about Valley men being elected to positions within the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts! We look forward to seeing you after the holiday season.

Fraternally,

Name That Degree Worker!

 

Last month's degree worker was Jaesun Duggan! Shout out to the production and make-up crew for doing a fantastic job on his attire for the October 27, 2012 degree class.

 

This month, can you guess who this is? We'll give you a hint: it's not the same person it was last month! Now that we've narrowed it down a bit for you, we hope you can figure out who this month's portrait is! The answer will be featured in the January edition of the Princes of Jerusalem update.

 

Our make-up crew does a fantastic job making our degree workers look like professional actors time and time again. We truly cannot thank them enough for the wonderful work that they do, which allows us to be able to put on a great show for everyone.

 

Do you like seeing these pictures of your brethren in costume? We have a whole bunch more where these came from! Visit our Facebook page to see all of the Valley of Boston pictures we have compiled in the recent months, and if you have any others you'd like to see included, feel free to send them to the webmaster to be posted both on the website and on our social media channels.
