Galveston Scottish Rite

I sit down with Roy De Gesero, an officer of the Galveston Scottish Rite in Galveston, Texas. We discuss the history of the Scottish Rite in Texas and Galveston. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is a centuries-old, global fraternity founded on principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. The Galveston Scottish Rite, established in 1867, holds the distinction of being Texas' oldest chapter and home to the state's initial "high" degrees of Freemasonry. With a resilient history spanning 150 years, the Galveston Valley has overcome challenges like epidemics, floods, and fires, remaining steadfast in its service to members and the community.
