Service & Leadership Mission The mission of this Knights of St. Andrew Chapter is to bring together 32° Master Masons for the purpose of supporting the Valley of Richmond in all the functions and activities of the Temple and to give focus to the moral applications of every Scottish Rite degree in order to put its members on the path to knowledge and leadership.
Vision To teach its members how to inspire others through unwavering values and a devotion to the stewardship of the Richmond Temple, thus become the example for others to follow based on the integrity of their person.
The Rule & Measure
With support from Saint Bernard de Clairvaux, Templar Grandmaster Hugh de Payen created the Latin Rule, the code of behavior to which all knights of the Order lived by. Here now is the Rule & Measure of our Order.
· You are to be virtuous, chaste, humble, merciful, tolerant, generous, and charitable; for only those who wish to bind themselves to these qualities of a good man and Mason are welcomed here.
· Your word must never hereafter be broken; less your sword hand too be shattered; as well as the bones which has given your Life rectitude. To this end you should renew yourself.
· Never to attack a submissive foe, nor harm the helpless, nor subjugate the weak.
· Treat all good men of virtue as a brother, all good ladies with the respect of a sister, and all poor and destitute orphans as your children.
· Be not idle as a Mason, but industrious in your endeavors; support your Blue Lodge and the Scottish Rite bodies with the fervor that ennobles a knight. Be ever the steward to your Brother.
· The pursuit of knowledge and faith is not exclusive to the Professor and Priest, the Good Samaritan is not exclusive to the Workers and Warriors. Embrace all these qualities, for a Knight of Saint Andrew is a driven man and is relentless in these pursuits if no other. |

A St. Andrew Knight’s Creed By Warbard
I am known as One of Sixty-Three, Who became the kilted fleur-de-lis, I am led to battle by Holy Light, And by De Bruce’s decree, I am a Knight.
Of whom do I serve? |
