IMPORTANT NOTE – ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!!!
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!!!
Join Royal Arch Companions from across Minnesota for the 2025 Grand Chapter of Minnesota One Day to Royal Arch Masonry Festival on Saturday, February 1, 2025. The recent One Day to Royal Arch Masonry Events have been tremendously successful, including 2024 when 24 Master Masons were welcomed into their Royal Arch Chapters. And 2025 promises to be even better. The annual Festival is a memorable opportunity for Companions to engage in our gentle craft and welcome new Candidates to Royal Arch Masonry.
The Royal Arch Degrees on Feb. 1st will be presented by Companions and Chapters from across Minnesota. The moving and compelling Royal Arch Degrees will be portrayed in their full form with no abbreviations or short cuts. The dramatic Royal Arch Degrees fill in the history, stories and legends that were hinted at but not fully discussed in the Degrees of the Blue Lodge.
The 2025 Festival will be presented at the historic Minneapolis Scottish Rite Masonic Center – perhaps the premier Masonic venue in Minnesota, located at 2011 Dupont Avenue South in Minneapolis.
As in past years, candidates will participate in a Grand Chapter of Minnesota Royal Arch Masonry education program in conjunction with the degrees, making for a memorable and rewarding Masonic experience for all the candidates.
If you are a Master Mason and wish to continue your journey in our gentle craft, reach out to a Royal Arch Mason and he can get you started with a petition to join a Royal Arch Chapter. You must submit a petition to a Royal Arch Chapter before you can attend the One Day event on Feb 1st. The closing date for petitions varies depending upon the Chapter you wish to join, so act now!!
