Knights of St. Andrew

Dear Sublime Princes:

We are just under one month away from the Inaugural  Banquet of Bannockburn for the Massachusetts Chapter, of the Knights of St. Andrew, being held on Sunday, June 23rd at the Boston Masonic Building!

The response has been overwhelming. Over sixty (60) members of the Valley of Boston have signed up as candidates for induction. With the inclusion of Masonic dignitaries and guests, we are approaching capacity; if you wish to join us in serving the Valley, please contact me via e-mail at your earliest convenience to make a reservation. Guests and significant others are welcome at all KSA events.

The events on June 23rd will begin at 4:30pm (candidates are encouraged to arrive no later than 4pm) with an open induction ceremony in Corinthian Hall (3rd floor) followed by a banquet in the Grand Master’s Dining Room (sub-basement). Refreshments and dining are provided courtesy of Massachusetts Consistory. The cost for membership is free for the inaugural class.

The Knights of St. Andrew are a Scottish Rite club, for 32º Masons only, that provide support services such as Greeters, Ushers and Tylers during Scottish Rite reunions, and that has regularly scheduled social gatherings for its members and their guests.

If you are looking for a way to be more active in the Scottish Rite that offers more flexibility for your busy lifestyle, you have found it with the Knights of St. Andrew! I hope you will consider joining us in this new endeavor for our Valley.

With fraternal regards,

V∴ Bro. Jerry A. Roach, Jr., 32º
Venerable Master 2013
