A further step in Freemasonry
Rose Croix is the name commonly used in England and Wales for the Ancient and Accepted Rite. It offers Master Masons an opportunity to explore further Masonic teachings through symbolism and ceremony.
The Order and its Chapters
The Rite comprises 33 degrees. Its first three degrees are recognised through Craft Freemasonry, so the Order builds on a member’s existing experience rather than initiating new Freemasons.
In England and Wales, the Order is governed by the Supreme Council 33°. Chapters are organised into Districts, each led by an Inspector General. De La Hoghe Chapter No. 1089 is part of the District of West Cheshire and meets in Neston.
The Ceremony of Perfection
Members enter through the 18° Ceremony of Perfection, receiving the intermediate degrees from 4° to 17° in abbreviated form.
