33rd Degree Masons

Achieving the 33° is an honor that can be bestowed upon a Scottish Rite Mason. It is not campaigned for. It is granted solely by the Supreme Council. A 33° Mason is a Master Mason who has exhibited knowledge, passion and sacrifice to his craft. The Supreme Council awards the 33° as a way of honoring outstanding and selfless work performed in the Rite or in public life. At its annual session the Supreme Council elects members of the Rite to receive the degree. Members unanimously so elected become Honorary Members of the Supreme Council. The Valley of Columbus awardees:


Congratulations to the Valley of Columbus members who have been elected to receive the 33rd degree on Tuesday September 2nd 2025 at Indianapolis, Indiana.
