Grand Commandery Knights Templar Massachusetts & Rhode Island

As we enter the season of Installation of Officers in our Commanderies, in our Templar ritual we hear the words of the Apostle Paul who in Ephesians 6:10-12 admonishes us: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Dear Sir Knights, Warm greetings to each of you as we embark on a new year filled with promise, growth, and renewed dedication to our noble mission. The past year has tested our resilience and unity, and now, as we stand at the threshold of this fresh chapter, let us rekindle our spirits and redouble our efforts to further the ideals that bind us together.
