FURTHER LIGHT IN MASONRY

Grand York Rite of California

Welcome to the California York Rite of Freemasonry


Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization. The York Rite is a system of degrees practiced mainly in America for Master Masons who desire further knowledge and experience in the craft of Freemasonry. The York Rite creates deeper meaning and relationships while examining the fundamental lessons taught in Freemasonry. It provides additional tools to help answer the questions: What is my relationship with God? What is my relationship with other people? What is my purpose? We discover, preserve, and defend the truest principles of time.
