WHO
WE ARE



The York Rite or American Rite is one of several Rites of Freemasonry. A Rite is
a series of progressive degrees that are conferred by various Masonic
organizations or bodies, each of which operates under the control of its own
central authority. The York Rite specifically is a collection of separate
Masonic Bodies and associated Degrees that would otherwise operate
independently. The three primary bodies in the York Rite are the Chapter of
Royal Arch Masons, Council of Royal & Select Masters or Council of Cryptic
Masons, and the Commandery of Knights Templar, each of which are governed
independently but are all considered to be a part of the York Rite. There are
also other organizations that are considered to be directly associated with the
York Rite, or require York Rite membership to join such as the York Rite
Sovereign College but in general the York Rite is considered to be made up of
the aforementioned three. The Rite’s name is derived from the city of York,
where, according to a Masonic legend, the first meetings of Masons in England
took place, although only the lectures of the York Rite Sovereign College make
reference to that legend.

The York Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master
Mason may join to further his knowledge of Freemasonry. But the York Rite is not
found as a single system worldwide, and outside of the York Rite there are often
significant differences in ritual, as well as organization. However, in most
cases, provided that the Grand Body in question regards the parent “Craft”
jurisdiction as regular, each distinct Order has recognized fraternal
inter-relations with the respective Grand Body within the York system.
