Ocala Valley Scottish Rite

The March meeting of the Valley of Ocala was highlighted by the Feast of Kadosh put on by the Brothers of the Commandery of Kadosh. It featured a wonderful meal for both the Scottish Rite Brothers and their significant others and was interspersed by several toasts. The Feast will be remembered as an evening where the Brothers gathered in strength, purpose, and unity and shared with their significant others. The program flowed smoothly, the ritual elements were delivered with dignity, and the message of moral courage, justice, and fidelity resonates deeply with everyone present. The Keynote address was delivered by R.W. Dr. Michael Yanetti titled “Knight, Kadosh, Sword, and Trowel.” The setting reflected the Valley’s commitment to excellence—well-prepared speakers, thoughtful symbolism, and a spirit of reverence that honors both tradition and the work of the Scottish Rite.
