Tour—Make Your Voice Heard!

South Bend, 8/28/2025 — This fall, Sovereign Grand Commander Walter F. Wheeler will embark on an unprecedented Listening Tour across the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, inviting Brothers to help shape the future of the Scottish Rite through open, face-to-face conversation.
“One of the greatest lessons Freemasonry has taught me is the power of truly listening,” said Commander Wheeler. “Our Brethren have made it clear: we need more meaningful connections, stronger mentorship, and a member experience that feels alive and relevant for today’s world. This tour is about you—your ideas, your concerns, your vision for our Craft.”
The Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, is dedicated to inspiring leadership, fostering fellowship, and deepening the Masonic experience for all its members. Don’t miss your chance to help chart the future of the Scottish Rite. Be the Brother who is a pivotal part of history who can say, “I was there.”
The Commander’s Listening Tour will stop in five cities within the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction:
Lexington, MA – September 6
Philadelphia, PA – September 13
Cambridge, OH – September 20
Indianapolis, IN – September 27
Chicago, IL – October 4
Each stop will be an interactive gathering—not a speech, but a real conversation where every Brother’s voice matters. Those who attend will receive an exclusive, limited-edition challenge coin—a keepsake of this historic moment that won’t be available anywhere else. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
