The Virginia Council of Deliberation and its Consistories have sponsored many charitable programs by promoting fraternal relations and dispensing diffusive charity as all freemasons do. We also support programs of the United Supreme Council, our parent organization.

 

Our activities in the community are based on Christian principles of worship for God and love for humankind.  Therefore, we are proud of our heritage as Scottish Rite Masons and grateful for the support we receive from the community.  May God continue to bless us as we interact with one another.
