Greetings, Illustrious Fraters and Loyal Ladies!
Greetings, It is my sincere pleasure to welcome all who plan to attend the 2025 Annual Session in New Orleans, Louisiana. Hosting this session in my home state is an honor, and we look forward to another historic and memorable gathering of the United Supreme Council. I remain committed to working alongside our elected Council of Administration, and in the coming years we will continue to focus on the growth and development of every member of the USC DC family. I am humbled to represent more than 3000 Fraters and over 70 Consistories around the world. Serving this distinguished organization is a privilege, and I thank you for your confidence, perseverance, and passion as we continue to strengthen our collective mission. This year brings several critical issues affecting our communities at the federal, state, and local levels. I encourage you to stay informed about voting dates and locations and to ensure your voice is heard. We will share voter registration information throughout the year, and I pray that each of our members remains committed to fulfilling their civic responsibilities. Prince Hall Freemasonry has a proud legacy of service, inspiring individuals around the world to unite in the pursuit of positive change. Meaningful impact does not always require grand gestures. Thoughtful and consistent contributions from many can yield powerful results. We are the representatives of and inspirations to our communities. If we do not care for them, no one else will. Enjoy your time in New Orleans, have a safe and productive session, and continue to carry the USC DC Scottish Rite banner with honor and integrity. Please enjoy this publication, and may God bless and keep you.
