The Richmond Honour Court

*** Honour Court Meeting Dates 2026-2027**

Second Wednesday quarterly

Greetings to you; members of the Honour Court,

As the 2026-2027 President of the Richmond Honour Court, it is both my duty and my privilege to serve all Scottish Rite Masons who are 33° Inspector General Honorary and the 32° Knight Commander of the Court of Honour by ensuring that this cadre of officers provides a venue, a sanctuary where fellowship, collaboration and tools of leadership may be shared by each and all. Each of these men have been selected and invested, not just with a special recognition, but with the responsibility of being leaders and the exemplars of the Richmond Scottish Rite Valley. Thank you for this opportunity to serve.

Members of the Richmond Honour Court are men who were selected to wear the red and white caps of the Scottish Rite, not just for their labors on behalf of the Valley, but for their potential ability to assume leadership responsibilities and to hold organizational authority. With the decision of authority resting within the hands of the Supreme Council, through our Sovereign Grand Inspector General (SGIG), I have personally accepted that the purpose of the Honour Court is to provide a forum whereby various examples of leadership, and its productive growth among the Valley’s membership may be discussed, developed and disseminated. Your Honor Court officers, Brothers Russell Wright, Stanley Katz, Barry Faison, and I, will labor to this end.

We are meeting at the back meeting room of O’Toole’s Restaurant & Pub at 4800 Forest Hill Ave, Richmond, VA 23225.  Dinners menu and specials are reasonable, food and service is excellent, and to your personal request. To all 32° KCCH and 33° IGH, their family and guests, I ask that you join us and share in our fellowship.  

Shelby L Chandler, President (2026-2027)
