The Scottish Rite Valley of South Bend is a distinguished center within the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, dedicated to fostering personal growth, moral integrity, and community service. Serving as a center for fellowship and enlightenment, the Valley brings together members from northern Indiana to share in Masonic traditions, deepen their understanding of moral teachings, and engage in charitable endeavors.

Brothers, the Fall Reunion of the South Bend Scottish Rite is just around the corner, and this is an opportunity you will not want to miss! On Saturday, November 7, 2026, we are invited to gather at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in South Bend for a special day of fellowship, Masonic education, and an experience that promises to be both meaningful and memorable: a live performance of the 32nd Degree! There is something truly special about witnessing a degree performed in person, seeing the lessons brought to life, and reflecting on the deeper meaning of the principles we have encountered throughout our Masonic journey. Whether you are a candidate experiencing this degree for the first time or a Brother returning to revisit its teachings, the Reunion offers an opportunity to renew our appreciation for Scottish Rite Masonry, strengthen the bonds we share, and enjoy the company of Brothers who are traveling the same path in search of further light. The day will begin at 8:30 AM with registration, coffee, and donuts, followed by the live 32nd Degree at 10:00 AM. The schedule also includes a class photograph, lunch, a short presentation, and video presentations of two additional degrees, making this a full day dedicated to learning, reflection, and fellowship. So, Brothers, do not let this opportunity pass you by. Set aside the day, invite a Brother to join you, and make plans to be part of this Fall Reunion. Reservations are requested by October 30, 2026, so please register online HERE or email aasrsouthbend@gmail.com. Let us come together in the spirit of Brotherhood, share in the experience of a live degree, break bread together, and continue our journey toward greater light in Scottish Rite Masonry. We look forward to seeing you there!

Since 1955, the Blue Envelope Appeal has served as a powerful call to action, uniting Scottish Rite Masons in a shared mission of service and generosity. This storied tradition began when Illustrious Richard A. Kern, 33°, launched a jurisdiction-wide invitation for voluntary giving, resulting in an immediate and overwhelming response from over 13,000 Brethren. Today, that signature blue envelope continues to represent a vital lifeline for the fraternity’s most impactful programs. Every contribution directly powers the Children’s Dyslexia Centers by providing specialized tutoring for students, sustains the Grand Almoner’s Fund for Masons facing sudden hardship, supports the Leon M. Abbott Scholarship Fund for aspiring scholars, and preserves our rich history through the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library.
Furthermore, these gifts bolster the local community by earning Valley of Excellence credit and helping to determine local scholarship allocations. By participating in the Blue Envelope Appeal, members do more than just honor a seven-decade legacy; they provide tangible hope and opportunity to families in need, ensuring that the Scottish Rite remains a beacon of light and support for generations to come.
