Welcome to the Valley of Reading AASR

Good Friends. Good Times. Good Memories.

Our Story

The Valley of Reading is comprised of four bodies: Lodge of Perfection, Council of Princes of Jerusalem, Knights of Rose Croix and Consistory. We have various special interest clubs, a volunteer organization and two honorary groups to honor members who have made special contributions to the Valley and Freemasonry. 

The Four Bodies of The Valley of Reading

Lodge - Council - Chapter - Consistory

The four bodies are each responsible for putting on degrees during reunions as well as organizing special activities thorough the Masonic year.
