The Scottish Rite Orient of California represents a vibrant and dynamic community of Masons dedicated to enriching lives through the timeless principles of Freemasonry while embracing modern progress. Rooted deeply in the legacy of Freemasonry, the California Scottish Rite upholds the core values of Brotherly Love, Tolerance, Charity, and Truth, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary perspectives.
With a rich history spanning decades, the Orient of California has evolved to meet the changing aspirations of its members. This evolution is marked by a commitment to continual growth, offering a centralized membership experience that keeps Masons connected to events, discussions, and educational resources across the state. The California Scottish Rite fosters a diverse network of like-minded individuals committed to self-improvement, community service, and personal development.
A vital aspect of the California Scottish Rite’s dedication is its support for causes that uplift the community, particularly through speech-language programs provided by the California Scottish Rite Foundation (CASRF). The Orient takes pride in being a driving force for positive change, collaborating with fellow Masons and community leaders to make a lasting impact on society.
At the heart of the California Scottish Rite is the recognition that the Masonic journey is personal and collective. The Orient welcomes all Masons, whether they are devoted Scottish Rite members, Master Masons considering joining or newly raised Masons curious about the next step in their Masonic journey. The California Scottish Rite invites them to embark on a transformative pilgrimage to an environment that honors tradition, embraces innovation, and forges a path of enlightenment, unity, and brotherhood.
The Orient’s commitment to shaping the future while honoring its past is evident in its inclusive and forward-thinking approach. Master Masons interested in joining the Scottish Rite can petition for membership by reaching out to a Scottish Rite Mason or by filling out the online application for degrees. The Orient also provides information about upcoming Reunion Classes, offering exciting opportunities for personal growth and development for Masons from other Scottish Rite Valleys or those wishing to take the degrees of the Scottish Rite to join and engage with this vibrant community.
Together, the California Scottish Rite members shape a future that respects and builds upon their rich heritage – the essence of the Orient of California of the Scottish Rite.
