Today, we proudly celebrate the **225th Anniversary of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, USA**.

On May 31, 1801, the Supreme Council of the Thirty-Third Degree was established in Charleston, South Carolina, becoming the first Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite in the world. For 225 years, the Southern Jurisdiction has illuminated the path of Masonic education, leadership, philosophy, and service, inspiring generations of Freemasons to seek truth, practice virtue, and labor for the betterment of humanity.

As Scottish Rite Masons, we honor the vision and dedication of those who came before us, whose work laid the foundation for an enduring legacy of enlightenment, brotherhood, and personal growth. Their commitment to the principles of liberty, equality, tolerance, and justice continues to guide our journey today.

May we recommit ourselves to the timeless lessons of the Rite and carry its light forward for future generations.

**Happy 225th Anniversary to the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction!**

As Memorial Day weekend begins, take a moment to remember why this holiday exists.

While many gather with friends and family, others carry memories of those who never made it home.

Some gave years.
Some gave youth.
Some gave dreams they would never live to see.

They stood watch in places most never will, carrying burdens most never fully understand, so future generations could live in freedom.

This weekend, enjoy your family. Fly the flag. Share a meal. Laugh loudly. Live fully.
But do not forget the men and women who paid the price for the freedoms we often take for granted.

Memorial Day is not about politics.
It is not about division.
It is about remembrance.

To the fallen, we honor you.
To the families left behind, we remember your sacrifice.
And to the living, may we strive to live worthy of what was given for us.
