Rite Freemasonry |
| The York Rite of
Freemasonry has been practiced in the United States since 1773 and
consists of The Royal Arch Chapter, The Cryptic Council, and the Commandery of Knights Templar. The teachings of the York Rite
encompass all the ideas and tenets of Freemasonry, and although their
degrees and orders carry no numbers, they are the compliment to the
Scottish Rite. The degrees and orders of the York Rite will complete
the circle of perfection in ancient craft Masonry and will assist men in
their quest of brotherly love, relief and truth. |

Shrine of North
America
|
| The Shriner have built
twenty two children's hospitals which include five burn institutes
throughout North America. These facilities were built, staffed and
maintained without any government assistance. Even more incredible,
no child has ever been charged for any treatment at a Shriner's
hospital! That's because the Shriners and their friends pay for it
all with dues, endowments, wills, gifts and fundraising activities such as
the East-West Shrine Football Game. At the Shriner's Hospitals, more
than 725,000 children have been restored to a near normal life.
Because of this great work, the Shriners have earned the proud title of
"the world's greatest philanthropy." |
