What is Royal Arch Masonry
Join Holy Royal Arch Masonry Today!
In the Royal Arch, the Lost Word of a Master Mason is rediscovered in a beautiful ceremony that takes the candidates through the destruction of King Solomons Temple, the seventy years of the Babylonian captivity, and the ultimate return to the Holy Land to aid and assist in the rebuilding of the Temple of the Most High. The Holy Royal Arch degree is a natural progression that reveals the genuine secrets after the granting of certain substituted ones. No other degrees are so intimately linked with the Blue Lodge or have so ancient and noble a history.

The Rite
No Rite of Freemasonry covers the world so much as does Royal Arch Freemasonry. In every free country of the earth, on every populated continent, and on many isles of the sea, will be found Royal Arch chapters, eager and willing to receive their companions from other parts of the world into that full fellowship that characterizes Royal Arch Freemasonry. In Asia, in Africa, in Europe, in the Americas, and on the Continent of Australia are found hundreds of Royal Arch chapters into whose halls you will ever be a welcome visitor. In our own country, we see thousands of chapters with hundreds of thousands of companions in our ranks. Upon your exaltation as a Holy Royal Arch Freemason, you will become a companion of one of the oldest and largest rites of Freemasonry.
