🌟 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 14TH DEGREE TEAM! 🌟

The Valley of New Bern proudly congratulates the 14th Degree Team who performed the degree during our historic Joint Reunion with Prince Hall.
In recognition of their dedication, preparation, and outstanding service to the Scottish Rite and the Craft, the members of the team were presented with New Bern Consistory Service Awards. 🏅

Their commitment to The Work exemplifies the spirit of Scottish Rite Masonry—Brotherhood, Service, and the pursuit of a deeper understanding of our Masonic obligations.

This Joint Reunion was a powerful demonstration of what can be accomplished when Brothers labor together in the bonds of fraternity and mutual respect. The 14th Degree Team helped make this occasion memorable, and we are proud to recognize their efforts.

Well done, Brothers! Your time, talent, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

Today, the Knights of St. Andrew, Valley of New Bern, stand in solemn remembrance of September 11, 2001.
We honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families forever changed, and the extraordinary courage shown by first responders, service members, and ordinary citizens who rose as heroes in our nation’s darkest hour.

As Knights, we are called to uphold the virtues of duty, vigilance, fidelity, and service. On this day, we reflect on those ideals embodied so powerfully by the brave souls who faced unimaginable danger with unwavering resolve.

May their sacrifice strengthen our commitment to serve our community, support our brethren, and walk uprightly with honor.
We remember. We reflect. We remain ever vigilant.

🔵 A HALF-CENTURY OF SERVICE — HONORING BROTHER PAUL MENARD, 33° 🔵

The Valley of New Bern was honored to recognize a truly remarkable milestone in the Masonic journey of Ill. Bro. Paul Menard, 33°.

With more than 50 years of dedicated service to the Scottish Rite, Brother Menard has exemplified the principles of Masonry through his commitment, devotion, and steadfast support of the Craft and the Rite.

In recognition of this extraordinary milestone, the Valley had the distinct honor of presenting Brother Menard with his Blue Cap, signifying more than five decades of faithful service and dedication.
For over half a century, Brother Menard has carried the light of Scottish Rite Masonry forward—serving not for recognition, but because of his devotion to the ideals we hold dear. His years of labor are a living testament to the words we are taught: “Human Progress is Our Cause.”

Brother Menard, your years of service have helped strengthen the bonds of Brotherhood and preserve the traditions of the Scottish Rite for generations to come.

The Valley of New Bern proudly salutes you and thanks you for 50+ years of service, sacrifice, and dedication.

🔵 Congratulations, Brother Menard! 🔵
May the lessons of the Rite continue to illuminate your path, and may your example inspire those who follow.
