Tuesday the 21st of May, at 7:30 o’clock pm, the Portland Valley Scottish Rite will confer the 5th Degree of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, “Perfect Master”.
All Scottish Rite Members of the 4th° or higher are welcome to attend. Visiting Brethren will need current dues card showing membership in the Scottish Rite. Attendance is exclusively for members of the Scottish Rite, as with all of our events, this is not open to the public.
This Degree takes place in on the anniversary of the death of the Master Hiram and it re-enacts the burial of that Perfect Master.
The Duties of the Degree are; “Be industrious and honest.”
The Lessons of the Degree are; “Life is uncertain; death may call at any time. The noblest portion of humanity is virtue for virtue’s sake.”
To consider for reflection; “Can you measure your age, not by years, but by good deeds? Does a life well lived prepare one for death?”
