Valley of Santa Fe–2025 Fall Reunion

The 2025 Fall Reunion of the Valley of Santa Fe will take place October 17th through October 19th this year and the Valley of Santa Fe earnestly requests that all Scottish Rite Masons attend this reunion to welcome a brand new class of Scottish Rite Freemasons to the fraternity.

Over the weekend of October 17th through October 19th, the Valley of Santa Fe will confer and communicate the 4th through the 32nd Scottish Rite Degrees. This reunion is one of two held by the Valley of Santa Fe during the year to initiate new Scottish Rite Freemasons.

The lessons imparted in the Scottish Rite Degrees are timeless and universal throughout all mankind and the manner in which they are conferred in the Santa Fe Scottish Rite Temple is nothing short of mystical. Very few Scottish Rite Valleys confer as many degrees as the Valley of Santa Fe and even fewer can perform the degrees in a century-old theater with their original sets and costumes. It is truly a unique opportunity and something that every Scottish Rite Freemason should experience.

All Master Masons in good standing are eligible and welcome to receive the Scottish Rite Degrees. To request a petition for the Degrees, please contact Secretary John Adams, 33° IGH by e-mail at secretary@nmscottishrite.org or by phone at (505) 982-4414.

If you aren’t a Mason yet you can find out how to become one at the Grand Lodge of New Mexico’s website www.nmmasons.org. We look forward to having you join us.

Aztlan Chapter of Rosé Croix Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal–Saturday, March 29, 2025

The 2025 Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal is scheduled for 1 o'clock on Saturday, March 29th at the Santa Fe Scottish Rite Temple, with lunch served before the Ceremony, at noon.

The Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal is a traditional springtime observance of contemplation and rebirth and is often referred to as the "Mystic Banquet". Rich in symbolism, the Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal honors the memory of our departed brethren who have given years of service to the fraternity. Masons, the families of Masons, and the public are welcome to attend the Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal in the Santa Fe Scottish Rite Temple's theater.

While it may seem like a somber occasion to remember the loss of our friends and brothers, it is also a time for reflection and growth. Because the Ceremony is held in the spring we are reminded that the season is symbolic of growth and that "spring comes again, growth matures, and fruit is eternal".

The Albuquerque Scottish Rite Club's Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal team will perform the ritual of this ceremony with the usual solemnity due such a moving tribute to our deceased brethren.

Lunch will be served at noon, prior to the Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal, in the Temple's dining room and all are welcome to attend.

For further information contact Secretary John Adams, 33° IGH at the Scottish Rite Temple at (505) 982-4414 or secretary@nmscottishrite.org.
