Tuesday the 4th of October, at 7:00 pm, the Portland Valley Scottish Rite will confer the 8th Degree of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, “Intendant of the Building”.
All Scottish Rite Members of the 7th° 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.
The Duty of the Eighth Degree is “Be benevolent and charitable.” The Lesson of the degree teaches “Benevolence and charity demand we correct our own faults and those of others. That which a man knows dies with him; therefore, transmit your knowledge. Labor is honorable if done with Sobriety, Temperance, Punctuality and Industry.”
