Mission
Statement
It is the mission of the
Ventura Valley of the Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry to improve its members and
enhance our community by teaching and
emulating the principles of Brotherly Love,
Relief, and Truth while actively embracing
high social, moral, and spiritual values
including fellowship, compassion, and
dedication to God, family and country.
We achieve this mission by providing further
enlightenment to our members through
educational opportunities, our philanthropic
efforts, and our involvement with the
brethren of our Masonic lodges.
House of The Temple
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry is commonly known as the Scottish
Rite. It is one of several appendant groups of the
worldwide fraternity known as Freemasonry. Each
Valley has up to four Scottish Rite bodies, and
each body confers a set of degrees. In the
Southern Jurisdiction these are the Lodge of
Perfection (4° - 14°), Chapter of Rose Croix
(15°-18°), Council of Kadosh (19°-30°), and the
Consistory (31°-32°). The Supreme Council confers
the 33rd Degree of Sovereign Grand Inspector
General.
The Scottish Rite is
one of the two major branches of higher-degree
Freemasonry in which a Master Mason may proceed
after he has completed the three degrees of
Symbolic or Blue Lodge Masonry. The other branch
is known as the York Rite, consisting of Royal
Arch Masons, Royal and Select Masters and the
Knights Templar.
The Scottish Rite
Creed - "Human progress is
our cause, liberty of thought our supreme wish,
freedom of conscience our mission, and the
guarantee of equal rights to all people
everywhere our ultimate goal."
