Mark Masonry LogoOn completion of the Master Mason's Degree, Brethren may wish to extend their Masonic researches by joining additional Masonic Orders.
The information below provides simplified membership requirements of these Orders.

Brethren are particularly recommended to "The Higher Degrees Handbook" by J.S.M. Ward, and "Beyond the Craft" by K.B. Jackson, available at Masonic regalia suppliers.

Alternatively, an online version of "The Higher Degrees Handbook" is available at Pietre Stones Review of Freemasonry

Many members of our Lodge are also members of these Orders and will be pleased to assist Brethren with any questions they may have.
