The Scottish Rite is an appendant body of the Masonic Fraternity chartered in Indianapolis in 1865. It confers the 4th through the 32nd degree upon a Master Mason desirous of continuing his Masonic education. 32nd Degree Freemasons believe in personal honor, principle, moral and ethical behavior, and setting a good example. We believe that character does matter.

The Valley of Indianapolis hosts numerous events for members and their guests and has an extensive charitable outreach, including sponsoring a learning center for dyslexic children.

Complimentary guided tours of the Cathedral are available for individuals and local community groups. This magnificiant example of neo-gothic architecture remains the largest building in the United States devoted to Freemasonry, and the National Registry of Historic Places listed it starting in 1983. The main tower rises 212 feet and contains a 54-bell carillon. Banquet, wedding, and meeting facilities are available
