Royal Arch Chapter

Palo Alto Chapter No. 93

Royal Arch Masons

The Royal Arch Chapter is considered by many to be the completion of the Master Mason degree. It explores the deeper mysteries of ancient craft Masonry and the search for truth. The Chapter confers four degrees that build upon the lessons of the Blue Lodge.

Companions of the Royal Arch discover lost secrets and gain a more complete understanding of the Craft, examining the relationship between the individual, the divine, and the community.
