8° Intendant of the Building

8° Intendant of the Building

April 24, 2026 – Santa Monica Masonic Center

The Los Angeles Valley of the Scottish Rite invites all Scottish Rite masons to attend the conferral of the 8th Degree: Intendant of the Building, directed by Bro. Steve Resnick, 32°.

This degree continues the great work of the Temple, emphasizing the importance of faithful labor, moral discipline, and the responsibility each Mason bears in building both the material and spiritual structures entrusted to his care.

Duties

Be benevolent and charitable.

Lessons

Benevolence and charity require not only kindness toward others, but the courage to correct our own faults and assist others in improving theirs. Knowledge must not be hoarded, but shared — for what a man knows dies with him unless it is passed on. The degree reminds us that labor is honorable when performed with sobriety, temperance, punctuality, and industry.

For Reflection

Is this life more than a portal to another?

Important Symbols

Triple triangle, nine-pointed star, and the colors crimson, green, and white.

We invite all Brethren to attend and take part in this meaningful continuation of the Ineffable Degrees, as we deepen our understanding of duty, charity, and the enduring value of our labors.
