New Hampshire Consistory
New Hampshire Consistory is made up of all 32º Scottish Rite Masons from all five valleys: Portsmouth/Dover, Nashua, Concord, Keene and Lancaster/Littleton. The Consistory meets once a year to confer degrees on candidates who have received all of their valley degrees.
       
 
 

Welcome to the NH Consistory web page.
We hope that you will find this web site a good place to increase your understanding and knowledge regarding Scottish Rite Freemasonry as well as a current calendar of upcoming events.

Every Scottish Rite 32º Mason in New Hampshire is a member of New Hampshire Consistory. New Hampshire Consistory is responsible for degrees 19-32.

Please check back often for news, updates and other information regarding Consistory.

WHAT IS CONSISTORY?
Consistory is a body that is statewide. Consistory offers degrees from 19th degree to the 32nd degree. A blue Lodge Mason must petition to join a local valley for the 4th to 18th degree first. Then once a year an reunion is held on a Saturday when a person can see the degrees required for them to become a 32nd degree Mason. Many brothers return in future years to fill in on the degrees that were not offered the day they became a 32nd degree Mason and this is why it is called a reunion. The office for administration of Consistory is in the Nashua Masonic Temple building. The head of the body is called Commander-in-Chief.

Spring Reunion, April 24, 2010:

Our annual spring reunion on April 24th was a rousing success.  Once again the 31º & 32º were presented in a combination form.  The 30º was a truly spectacular performance.  I hope you were able to be with us to reconnect with your brothers, and make some new friends.
New Hampshire Consistory will be active preparing for our Reunion next April.  Although Consistory degrees will be exemplified next spring, your Lodge of Perfection and Council, of which you’re a member in one of the five Valleys, will be active this fall.  Check your Valley calendar on the left of this page, your Valley newsletter, or your Valley Secretary for information.
 There was money in the budget to exemplify degrees this fall.  I’d like to use that money for an event for you and your families.  So let us know what you would like to do.  Keep in mind that the timeframe would be mid-October to late November, and that funds aren’t limitless.
E-mail your suggestions to the Scottish Rite Office, at: nhconsistory32@conversent.net, or mail them to: Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Office of the Secretary, 196 Main St, Ste 16, Nashua, NH 03060.  We’ll let you know what was selected.
