Greeting Companions & Visitors to our web site,

As Chairman of the Condition of Capitular Masonry I would personally invite any Master Mason viewing the site who wishes further Light in Royal Arch Masonry, to contact the office, or if so disposed any Royal Arch Mason known to you for further information.

In these first few months, after being installed to the position which you my Companions have elected me, I find the condition of our time honoured institution to be acceptable. Many social events are also planned. Golf tournaments, fish fry’s, curling bonspiels, bus tours, and benevolent fund raisers are being sponsored by Districts and individual Chapters.  Congratulations to the organizers and participants of these functions.

It has been noted that attendance within a small number of Chapters is not what it was or should be due to some discord. By allowing reason and judgement to be unseated, temperance fails. With this in mind I personally appeal to you my Companions , if due to some petty variance with a Brother/Companion  you feel unable to attend Chapter, I would recommend that by being Kind, Just ,Amiable ,and Virtuous ,you endeavour to settle your differences and demonstrate to the world the happy and beneficent effect of our ancient and honourable institution. Be ye all of one mind ......

I believe we have been blessed with new and vibrant continuity in this our Grand Chapter; anyone not witnessing this hypothesis was not present at Grand Convocation. The number of Companions alone offering their services to this Grand Chapter is a testament unto itself into this transformation. Fortitude will be indispensable in modifying our methodology, by being flexible, without affecting our time honoured message.

In closing

 Be sure to check back for upcoming initiatives’ by your Grand Council and the Committees of the Grand Executive. We will be attempting to tweak your interest.

My Companions and Visitors may your summer be full of joy, peace, and happiness and your enjoyment of friends and family a joy and blessing to your heart and health.

R.Ex.Comp.Brian D.VanSickle
Grand Third Principal.
