A Historic Milestone for the Royal Arch in Paraguay

Our Deputy Grand Superintendent, E.Comp. Richard Cooper, participated in the Convocation to receive Reddish Chapter No. 3615 into the District Grand Chapter of South America, Southern Division. Originally consecrated in England in 1926, the Chapter has officially transferred its charter to Asunción, Paraguay, marking the first time the Holy Royal Arch has been established in the country.

During this landmark ceremony, the new Principals were formally installed: E.Comp. Jonathan Igulden as First Principal, E.Comp. Derlis Acosta as Second Principal, and E.Comp. Pablo Lesme as Third Principal. The arrival of this prestigious Chapter—long awaited and achieved through the dedicated effort of many Companions—is a significant milestone for English Freemasonry in the region, reflecting the growth and expansion of our District in this new era.
