2025 SP-CEO Holiday greetings/message
From the Desk of the Supreme President/CEO
As we celebrate this joyous season, I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes to each of you for a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosperous New Year. Let us always remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.
I am also deeply grateful for your unwavering commitment to our Prestigious Organization during this milestone year of our 75th Jubilee Anniversary, and I hope that your commitment will continue for many years to come. This past year was not only a celebration of our legacy but also a time of transition in leadership. Each of you is to be commended for your dedication, which continues to strengthen our standing as a Fraternal Order respected throughout the world. With your continued support, we will remain an organization that others look to with admiration and regard.
At this year’s Marshal’s Convention, I announced an important directive: the number of applications required to advance to the next degree has been reduced from two applications to one application. This adjustment, effective immediately for one year, will allow members to progress more readily while also encouraging growth. This directive applies to all departments except for the Thirty-Third Degree Council and Supreme Rose of Seven Seals Auxiliary.
As we move forward together, my prayer is that God’s blessings be upon you and your families. May God forever bless International Free and Accepted Modern Masons, Incorporated and Order of the Eastern Star.
