2026 California Statewide Scottish Rite Reunion
The 2026 California Statewide Scottish Rite Reunion has officially concluded after an extraordinary three-day marathon of fellowship, ritual, and Scottish Rite Masonry in Pasadena.
Pasadena Scottish Rite
More than 140 candidates from across California received the degrees of the Scottish Rite during the weekend, including 10 candidates from the Valley of Los Angeles. It was an impressive undertaking that brought together Brothers, degree teams, officers, candidates, and volunteers from Valleys throughout the Orient.
The Valley of Los Angeles was proud to play an important role in the weekend's degree work, presenting the 17° – Knight of the East and West on Saturday and the 29° – Scottish Knight of Saint Andrew on Sunday morning.

We are especially proud to welcome our 10 newest Los Angeles Scottish Rite Brothers. They joined a class of more than 140 candidates in experiencing a truly unique statewide Reunion and becoming part of the continuing tradition of Scottish Rite Freemasonry in California.

Our casts delivered exemplary performances in both degrees, representing Los Angeles with professionalism, preparation, and the high standard of ritual work for which our Valley strives. We extend our sincere thanks to every cast member, stage crew member, officer, and Brother who contributed countless hours of rehearsal and preparation to make these performances possible.
Jon Eric Preston - King Herod
The weekend was a marathon in every sense—three full days of degrees, fellowship, meals, rehearsals, early mornings, and late nights—but it demonstrated what can be accomplished when the Valleys of California come together with a common purpose.
Congratulations to all of our new Scottish Rite Masons, and thank you to everyone who represented the Valley of Los Angeles so well.
Los Angeles showed up, delivered, and made us proud.
