All things depend upon faith. There is faith in God
and faith in our families. There is faith in our beliefs,
our institutions, in each other and ourselves. Even
the faith that winter will give way to spring.
There are men of faith. Men who believe faith not
only can move mountains, but can guide us to
make this world a better place.
Who are these men?
They are Scottish Rite Masons.
The 33rd Degree Achieving the 33° is the penultimate honor that can be bestowed upon a Mason. It is not something that you can campaign or strive for. It must be granted to you solely out of recognition from the Supreme Council. A 33° mason is a master mason who has exhibited knowledge, passion and sacrifice to his craft. The Supreme Council will award the 33° as a way of honoring outstanding and selfless work performed in the rite or in public life. At its biennial session the Supreme Council elects members of the Rite to receive the Degree. Members unanimously so elected become honorary members of the Supreme Council. The cap for an Inspector General Honorary is white with a white band edged in gold, featuring the symbol for this honorary Degree, a red slanting Patriarchal Cross.
