Welcome to the Lubbock York Rite. The noble heritage of York Masonry is yours to take.
What is the York Rite?
The York Rite continues the journey a Master Mason begins in his Lodge. It is made up of four parts: the Lodge, the Chapter, the Council and the Commandery, and each builds on the one before it.
Becoming a York Rite Mason does not raise you to a “higher rank.” It is a path of further light and education, to help you realize the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man in your own life. The regular meetings of the bodies build firmer friendships and a closer spirit of brotherly love.
The path
One must first be a Master Mason of a Lodge. From there, the way leads through three bodies, each meeting here in Lubbock.
Step one
Chapter #248
Royal Arch Masons
A Master Mason may be exalted to the Royal Arch, where the Word lost in the Lodge is recovered.
Step two
Council #183
Royal & Select Masters
A Royal Arch Mason may then receive the Cryptic Degrees of the Council.
Step three
Commandery #60
Knights Templar
A Royal and Select Master may petition for the chivalric Orders of the Commandery.
