2025 California Biennial Honors

Honorable Sam House, 32° KCCH receiving KCCH honors in San Francisco, CA

On September 13th, 2025, at the California Biennial Honors, our Valley was recognized with great distinction.

We proudly congratulate Illustrious David Martirez Ferreria, who was coroneted a 33° Inspector General Honorary, the highest honor of the Scottish Rite. He also had the privilege of serving as the exemplar for the coronet ceremony, a role that reflects the esteem in which he is held by his Brethren.

We are also pleased to announce that Brothers Sam House, 32°, and Henry Azinfar, 32°, have been selected to receive the rank and dignity of Knight Commander of the Court of Honour (KCCH). At this Biennial, Brother House was formally knighted, while Brother Azinfar, though unable to attend in person, has likewise been honored with this distinction.

This Biennial was especially meaningful for California, as our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Arthur L. Salazar, Jr., 33°, was formally appointed Deputy of the Supreme Council in California. His leadership exemplifies the unity of the Craft and the Scottish Rite working hand in hand for the betterment of the Fraternity.

These honors highlight the strength of our Valley and the devotion of our members. We are proud to celebrate these achievements and the shining example our Brethren set for us all.
