Cedar Rapids Scottish Rite will host the opportunity to join in viewing the Supreme Council's 225th Anniversary Special Session on Sunday, May 31. The dining room will open at 11:30 AM, the live stream starts at 12 PM, and the Special Session will begin at 1:00 PM (all Central times listed).

This Memorial Day, we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom carries a cost paid by generations who answered the call of duty with courage, honor, and devotion to something greater than themselves.

As Scottish Rite Masons, we reflect upon the values of patriotism, service, and remembrance. Today is a day to pause, honor the fallen, and carry forward a spirit of gratitude worthy of their sacrifice.

May their memory endure.
May their service never be forgotten.
