🌟 A Night of Excellence at Lone Star No. 6! 🌟
Huge congratulations are in order for our two newest Most Excellent Masters!

Last night, Lone Star Chapter No. 6 had the distinct honor of conferring the MEM degree, and it was a spectacular evening from start to finish. There is something truly special about the symbolism of the Completion of the Temple, and seeing our brothers take this step in their Capitular journey is what it’s all about.

Join us in welcoming our new Most Excellent Masters in the comments! 👇

Austin Council No. 2 greeted two Companions as Royal and Select Masters tonight with the help of the excellent ritual prowess of Very Illustrious Companion Aaron W. Tyksinski, Past Grand Master of the Most Illustrious Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters of Texas. He has been a true companion to this Council helping to confer the Cryptic degrees upon most of the 15+ companions over the past few years.

Congratulations Charlie and Gabe! We pray you found value in the process and the rituals sparked a lifetime of interest and participation.
