Charities 2008

Every Man A Penny contribution form

The Grand High Priest asks, that as a Royal Arch Mason, who as such receives his wages of one penny a day, to consider donating your day’s wages to Royal Arch Charities. A penny a day can go a long way.

The Royal Arch Masons have formed a partnership with the Community, the Nation and the World through our Royal Arch Charities. This partnership provides a wide range of benefits:

1. through scholarships, which is an investment in the future leaders of our community and nation, by providing financial assistance to young people who are continuing their education,

2. through the Royal Arch Medical Research Foundation, whose scientific research helps, not only Royal Arch Masons and their families, but for the human family around the world,

3. through the Diseases of the Lung fund, which helps defer medical expenses of our members who have afflictions of the lung,

4. and the Grand High Priest’s Allocation, which is used for many charitable causes which he feels are worthy.

Please remember your obligations as a Royal Arch Mason and that although your labors may be finished for the day, and you have been called to receive your wages, there is someone that needs your help and that help could come from Royal Arch Charities.

M.E.Randall Kreger introduced the Royal Arch Seal to the Companions of our Grand Chapter at the 1960 Annual Convocation of the Grand Chapter. Its purpose was to be used as a public relations instrument. The Royal Arch Scholarship Fund received constitutional support at the 1961 Convocation. It was then agreed to promote the Royal Arch Seal as a means of raising funds for scholarships. The gifts from the Royal Arch Seal program, under the terms of the Grand Chapter Constitution, are immediately available for scholarships.

Interest in this program has been on the rise recently, and our Scholarship Fund benefits from your generous support. Your Chapter Secretary or the D.D.G.H.P. from your District has seals ready for distribution. If both Companions are currently out of them, you can contact the Grand Secretary’s office for more information.

Thank you for your continued efforts to promote Royal Arch Masonry by supporting the Seal Program.
