Barry McKinley, 32°
Commander of Kadosh
Dear Brothers of the Orange County Scottish Rite,
A new year has begun, and with it, a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm for our valley. Our first meeting of the year under Venerable Master Russell Hennings was a great success, setting a strong foundation for the months ahead. It was inspiring to see our brothers come together in fellowship and unity as we embark on another year of growth and service.
As we look forward, let us continue building upon the successes of the past year. Whether through meaningful education, engaging events, or strengthening the bonds of brotherhood, each of us has a role to play in making our valley stronger. I encourage all of you to stay active and involved, supporting one another and embracing the opportunities that 2025 will bring.
Scottish Rite Masonry is built upon principles that guide us toward self-improvement and service to others. Let us approach this year with dedication and an open heart, committed to the values that define our fraternity. I am honored to serve as your Commander of Kadosh and look forward to working alongside each of you in the months to come.
