Constructed on budget and on time!
It is indeed an honour and a privilege to be the
first Grand First Principal of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of
Alberta to welcome the world to our Internet Web Page.
In the past, operative tools available to Royal
Arch Masons were the square, level, plumb-rule, chisel, mallet and other
such implements. Those implements evolved into symbolic or speculative
tools to teach us the fundamental rules and tenants of our beloved
Fraternity. As this Grand Chapter finally starts to catch up with the
21st Century of technology, it is our hope and prayer that
the emerging tool of the computer and internet will bring light and
understanding to the curious and promote a greater level of
communication within our own Fraternity.
Master Masons are encouraged to read and research
the papers contained within our library and use the many references and
contacts to reach out and learn more about York Rite Masonry and the
powerful step to become a Royal Arch Mason. The journey is educational,
uplifting and well worth the time dedicated to knowing more about
yourself and how Capitular Masonry will enrich your life.
To the Non-Masons who are reading this, you could
take the very first step and become a Master Mason through a Craft
Lodge. It is important that you come on your own free will and accord.
In Alberta we strongly recommend a visit to the
Grand Lodge of
Alberta's web site. We are confident that once you start your journey
you will be returning to this site, and we will be here to assist with
Faith, Hope and Charity.
May the Most High prosper
your endeavors.
Fraternally Yours,
Most Excellent Companion G.E. (Gerry) Tetzloff
Grand First Principal
GRAND CHAPTER of ROYAL ARCH MASONS of ALBERTA - 2002-2003 |
