Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
Orient of Alabama
Valley of Montgomery

The Scottish Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry.

In the United States the Scottish Rite is officially recognized by Grand Lodges as an extension of the degrees of Freemasonry. The Scottish Rite builds upon the ethical teachings and philosophy offered in the craft lodge, or blue lodge, through dramatic presentation of the individual degrees.

Meeting Information

We meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Scottish Rite Temple located at 565 Eastern Blvd in Montgomery.
