Central Oregon KSA
Friendship / Fellowship / Fraternity you’re Invited!

As the Valleys of the Scottish Rite in Portland and other Valleys are far from home and difficult for the brothers to travel there frequently to attend regular meetings and have fellowship in the Scottish Rite, our Illustrious Sovereign Grand Inspector General Brother Rick Komraus, 33°, and myself as Venerable Master have been able to organize and through the help of seven brothers who drove to Portland and got knighted, start and charter The first Central Oregon Chapter of the Knights of Saint Andrew to exist as a service organization, so as to better serve our brethren, their ladies and guests who participate in Reunions and social activities.

Our services include, but are not limited to: greeting and escorting visitors; assisting in all aspects of the performance and production of degrees; performing ceremonial duties at Honours; and, on occasion, serving as stewards of the building as well as other duties that may arise; open and close a Lodge of Saint Andrew with the intent to provide education on the degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite; and serving other valleys by timely request and upon the capacity of the Knights of Saint Andrew Central Oregon Chapter.

As the Venerable Master of the Central Oregon Chapter I invite any and all Scottish Rite brothers regardless of their Valley to join us on the third Thursday of every month at 7:00 at Bend Lodge as we open lodge and join your brothers as we endeavor to have fun, socialize and learn more about the Scottish Rite degrees through lectures given to us from Illustrious Brother Ted Balestreri, 33°, from the University of the Scottish Rite and assist our brothers in service, to the glory of masonry and our Scottish Rite brethren.

Please bring your Scottish Rite hat and your dues card showing your active membership in the Scottish Rite regardless of your valley. Please support your brothers and our very own Central Oregon Chapter of The Knights Of Saint Andrew as a part of Scottish Rite.

“Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are earned and paid in their dealings with one another”.

A Message to Our Valley

It is with a heavy heart that we remember the passing of our late General Secretary, Brother Stephen Larrance, 32°, whose dedication, service, and friendship meant so much to all of us. His contributions to our Valley will not be forgotten, and we carry his example forward with gratitude.

During this time of transition, I have stepped into the role of General Secretary. I do so with humility and a sincere desire to serve each of you and to continue the work that strengthens our Valley.

Please know that I am here for you. I am always available to help, to listen, and to support our members and all activities within the Scottish Rite Valley. I look forward to working together, growing together, and honoring the spirit that unites us.

Our Valley is getting stronger every day, and everyone who works in the office appreciates you and all that you contribute. You are always welcome to stop by—have a cup of coffee, share your thoughts or concerns, or simply enjoy some fellowship. We encourage you to become involved: help with a project, take part in a degree, or lend your talents where you feel called. Your involvement is what makes the Medford Valley Scottish Rite the thriving, fraternal organization that it is.

Thank you for your kindness, your support, and your fellowship.

Fraternally,
Steve Wikoff 32°
Medford General Secretary

FROM THE DESK OF BOB CRUM

I want to start this article by saying we lost one of our most beloved Brothers this month, Brother Stephen Larrance 32°, Knight of St. Andrew, passed away on March 2, 2026.

Brother Steve was our General Secretary, and an integral member of the Scottish Rite. He never seemed to say no to any opportunity to serve his brothers. He is sorely missed by all. A memorial service, will be conducted here at the Rite and all will be notified.

Here we are closing out the Month of March 2026. We have had a good year thus far with participation in meetings and events. As we state a new quarter, we look forward to working on our degrees, education and protocols.

Each month, with the exception of July and August, we plan on having a family type dinner, or other such event to keep our families involved in our fraternity. We look forward to seeing many more of our families attending these events and could use some ideas for any special events we have not had on our agenda in the past.

I WANT TO WISH ALL MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES A HAPPY EASTER.

Scottish Rite Entered Apprentice Degree & Feast of the Manifesto, May 30th

Posted on

Saturday, May 30th, 2026

In Celebration of the 225th Anniversary of the Founding of the Supreme Council, S.J., U.S.A., the Oregon Consistory No. 1 Presents:

The 1st Degree of the Scottish Rite & Feast of the Manifesto

For the first time in our rich fraternal history, and by dispensation of the Sovereign Grand Inspector General of Oregon, along with the Most Worshipful Grand Masters of Oregon and Louisiana, the Scottish Rite Entered Apprentice degree will be exemplified by the District 16 Traveling Degree Team and Germania Lodge #46 of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Louisiana, in the Orient of Oregon. This historic degree is the first of the Scottish Rite Craft Degrees, which are still in use today to initiate, pass, and raise Master Masons in Scottish Rite Lodges, such as Germania Lodge #46. The degree will be performed in the Portland Temple’s historic Vaudeville Era Theater.

May 30th Event Schedule:
11am – Doors open
12-noon – Feast of the Manifesto
2pm – Scottish Rite Entered Apprentice Degree Exemplification
5pm – Fellowship Social

This event is exclusively for current Master Masons in Good Standing in a Symbolic or Craft Lodge. Attendance at the Degree Exemplification is $100 for seats in the theater, and the Feast Luncheon in the Grand Ballroom is $33.85.

Join us as we welcome the rich tradition of the members of Germania Lodge No. 46, founded in 1844 by German-speaking Freemasons in New Orleans. They will be exemplifying the Entered Apprentice Degree utilizing their current ritual, an amalgam of 1861 Scottish Rite Craft Lodge ritual and Louisiana’s York Rite work. The Team’s main objective is to assist in bringing these beautiful and historic degrees to interested brethren throughout the country. This lodge has proudly preserved its heritage through languages and rituals, fostering brotherhood across generations. The exemplification of this work will only be performed for the purpose of education and benefit of the Craft, no candidate will be Initiated. Witness their unique ritual steeped in history and don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a historic event!

High-noon Feast of the Manifesto Menu

At 12 noon we will celebrate the Feast of the Manifesto of 1801 featuring a delectable dining experience with Olive Garden’s beloved Italian dishes!

🍝Menu:
Spaghetti: A classic favorite, spaghetti with traditional homemade marinara sauce.
Fettuccini Alfredo: Creamy alfredo sauce made from scratch with ingredients like parmesan, cream, garlic and butter, served with fettuccine pasta.
Available with beef and chicken, or without for vegetarians.
Garden Fresh Salad: House Salad served with signature Italian dressing (served on the side).
Breadsticks: Warm, freshly-baked buttery breadsticks—an Olive Garden signature!

Gather your with your Brethren for an unforgettable event filled with delicious food and delightful conversation. Seats are limited for the meal so reserve your spot today.

Get Tickets Here

On the event site be sure to scroll down on the ticket purchase page and add meals if you plan to attend the Feast before the Degree.

The Feast of the Manifesto is an annual celebration of the world changing declaration in 1801 that formed the Scottish Rite as we know it today. It is considered by many Scottish Rite Masons to be the most important day in our history, for it was in 1801 that the Scottish Rite formally began as an organized Masonic body. The Feast Day of the Consistory is also known as the FEAST OF THE MANIFESTO of the Order, for it was in the 1802 Manifesto, called the “Circular throughout the two Hemispheres,” where May 31, 1801 was declared to be the formal establishment of the first Supreme Council in Charleston, South Carolina. This year we will be celebrating the 225th anniversary of the Supreme Council and the 135th anniversary of the founding of our own Oregon Consistory No. 1.
