The Royal Arch
Keystone Chapter No. 44 operates in Alexandria, LA. There are currently more than 20 Chapters operating around the state in what is commonly known as Capitular Masonry.
The Capitular degrees fill in some time gaps between the Fellowcraft and Master Mason degrees. There is also a Past Master's degree as no one can obtain the degree of Royal Arch who is not a Past Master. This degree only entitles you to privileges with the Capitular degrees, however. The Royal Arch degree is where all York masons receive the true word.
