Today is International Day of Charity, a great time to remind ourselves what charity looks like as part of the Scottish Rite, NMJ.

It looks like Pat Kettelle, who lost her husband Gary, a Vietnam veteran and Scottish Rite Mason, just a month after their 53rd anniversary. That winter, her wood stove couldn't heat the house, and her car needed repairs she couldn't afford. The Grand Almoner's Fund covered the heating system. A Brother fixed her car himself.

Or Gunner Collins, who started at one of our Children's Dyslexia Centers in third grade. His skills grew two grade levels his first year. Now he tells his mom, "I already know this. I want to learn more."

And it looks like Ivy and Lessa Gharaibeh, who grew up watching their stepdad, Brother Dan Pirlot, build a life of purpose in Freemasonry. The Leon M. Abbott Scholarship is helping them pursue their own — through higher education.

Three families. One fraternity. This is what charity looks like when Brothers show up for each other.

On December 3, 1999, six firefighters lost their lives in the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse fire — one of the deadliest days in American fire service history. Lieutenant John Sullivan was there that night. Two of the men who died were his own crew.

In this candid interview, Brother and retiring Fire Chief John Sullivan, 33°, opens up about the fire that changed his life, the years of grief and healing that followed, and how Freemasonry gave him back a brotherhood he thought he'd lost.

Fall Reunion season is approaching — and for some Brothers, it'll be their first. You remember what that felt like.

The degrees. The Brotherhood. The moment it all starts to click.

There are moments in the Scottish Rite that remind you why you joined.

The America 250: Summer Series is one of those moments. Seven degrees rooted in American history, the kind of storytelling that pulled you into this Fraternity in the first place, on demand.

This is the last week you'll have access to the series this summer, so don't miss out.

Tolerance is more than a Core Value of the Scottish Rite—it's a principle we strive to live every day. The 24° reminds us that it's infused in how we live as Masons.

Known as Brother of Tolerance, The 24° is a lesson in compassion, piety, and justice, and that Freemasonry has always stood for universal Brotherhood.

Witness the full degree as part of the America250: Summer Series, available on demand in the Member Center through August 31.

Ask a Scottish Rite Mason what Devotion to Country means to him, and the answer will depend on who you ask. What does it mean to you?

Meet five Brothers who show what it looks like in practice: a Tuskegee Airman, a prisoner of war, an NYPD detective who ran toward Ground Zero, a museum keeper preserving veterans’ stories of courage, and a veteran now helping others heal.
