Register for the Fall Class

Starting today, you can register for the Fall Class! The class will be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at Grand Lodge in Boston. Brothers and candidates alike are asked to register in advance to help with planning for the day.

Our Spring Class is a great time to see your Scottish Rite Brothers from around the state, catch up on degrees, and more! Our production and degree teams are hard at work memorizing parts for the show, and as always we’ll have Crest Family Catering supply breakfast and lunch, and drinks throughout the day.

Valley of Lowell Ladies at the Table

The Valley of Lowell Scottish Rite is excited to hereby invite you and your significant other to the Ladies at the Table Event on Sunday, October 6, 2024.

This event is similar to a table lodge as a seven course meal is served and seven toasts are given. However, the ritual has been tailored specifically for this Scottish Rite event.

The event starts at 2:00 p.m. with a social hour and a start time at 2:30 p.m.

This Day in History

So much fascinating history goes by daily without anyone realizing. Let’s take a look at what happened on This Day in History!

Edward the Confessor died in early 1066 with no sons, leaving the Anglo-Saxon throne contested. Claimants from across Europe descended upon England in what became known as the Norman Invasion, as William of Normandy won out, but claimant King Harald III of Norway invaded Fulford, near York. Next, the world was forever changed in 1519 as Ferdinand Magellan began the circumnavigation of the globe.
