About Royal Arch

The Royal Arch is considered by many to be the completion of the Master Mason degree. It is the first and most important of the additional degrees in Freemasonry. Royal Arch Masonry teaches the importance of the search for Divine Truth and emphasizes the restoration of that which was lost.

The Chapter of Royal Arch Masons confers four degrees, each rich in symbolism and meaning, culminating in the exaltation to the degree of Royal Arch Mason.
