February Meeting Scheduled
The February 15th meeting is scheduled to start at 7:15 to conduct business.
Per the The Grand Lodge Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina, all Scottish Rite meetings and associated meetings and events are now operating in full form, but still have in-place safety measures to keep our members safe from COVID-19.
Welcome, Brothers, to the Greenville Scottish Rite’s web site where you will find information about the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the John I. Smith Rite Care Center, and, and the Greenville Valley.
The Greenville Bodies normally meet jointly at the Scottish Rite Center on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:15 PM. Visiting Scottish Rite Masons are invited to attend the monthly meetings. Admission is by current Scottish Rite dues card.
The Greenville Scottish Rite Center serves about 1,700 members in Upstate South Carolina. The facility, erected in 1974, serves four bodies: The Greenville Lodge of Perfection, the Greenville Chapter Rose Croix, the Greenville Council of Kadosh, and the Greenville Consistory. The Greenville Valley is affiliated with the Orient of South Carolina of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States which was established in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1801. The Supreme Council is located at the House of the Temple in Washington, D.C.
We hold a 50/50 raffle at each meeting to raise money for the Rite Care Center!
