Why Join the York Rite?

Most Masonic Jurisdictions in the United States operate under what is known as the York system of degrees. Masonry is taught as a progressive system of morality. The "York Rite" as it is commonly referred to fills in the blanks to parts of the story alluded to in the first three degrees of Masonry.

Have you ever watched a movie, read a book, or listened to someone speak and then just quit halfway through? Did you ever wonder what the rest of the story was? That as Paul Harvey would say is what the York Rite will offer to you, "The rest of the story."

The real question is not, "Why York Rite?" Rather it is, "Why not York Rite?" You joined a lodge for fellowship, brotherly love, and enlightenment. There is more to learn. Join a local York Rite body and continue your journey today.
