The Valley of Chicago’s
New Scottish Rite Cathedral
The Masons are the world's largest and oldest men's fraternity. Our traditions are more than three centuries in the making and are founded upon the virtues of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. These are traditions our founding fathers held dear and that are still embraced and valued by good men of every race, religion, and ethnicity.
Masons come from all walks of life: doctors, lawyers, businessmen, plumbers, farmers, presidents, astronauts, and factory workers, all meeting together as equals to improve themselves and their communities.
Today there are over 73,000 Masons in Illinois who enjoy membership in 555 different local Lodges.
These men share a tradition of excellence which emphasizes personal integrity, commitment to family, and service to the community.
Masonic historians still seek answers to the origin of the Scottish Rite. The first reference to the Rite appears in old French records where the word "Ecossais" (meaning Scottish) is found. During the 17th century, when the British Isles were torn by strife, many Scots fled to France and resumed their Masonic interests there.
This influence may have contributed to the use of the word "Scottish." Records from the 18th century show activity of the Rite in Bordeaux, France. From there it spread to the West Indies and then to the colonies. Antecedents of the modern Scottish Rite existed in Albany, New York as early as 1767.
