Meetings Currently Being Held at Shrine Center in Bartonville

All,
 
While the Scottish Rite Building in Peoria is getting a really big face lift (air conditioning and lots of updates by the buildings new owners!!) we will be holding meetings at the Shrine Center in Bartonville. If you come to meetings you will need to wear your mask and be sure to social distance. This is by the order of the Grand Master of Illinois... but also because we all want to make sure our members are safe!

The address for the Shrine Center:
 ​4201 Industry Dr, Bartonville, IL 61607

Welcome to the Valley of Peoria website

We are part of the family of Freemasonry, the largest and oldest fraternal organization in the world.

Our Vision
​We will strive to be a fraternity that fulfills our Masonic obligation to care for our members.
32° Freemasonry seeks to strengthen the community and believes that each man should act in civil life according to his individual judgment and the dictates of his conscience.

Our Values
32° Scottish Rite Masonry expands upon the fundamental principles of Freemasonry, exploring Masonic teachings more deeply. Building upon the ethical and philosophical teachings of the blue lodge, Scottish Rite reveals a wealth of knowledge about Masonry not found in the other degrees. It seeks to enrich the philosophy of the Symbolic Lodge in order to help good men become even better. A member of the Scottish Rite seeks to:
Aid mankind’s search for identity and destiny in God’s universe
Produce wiser men in a wiser world, happier men in a happier world, and therefore better men in a better world
Promote the dignity of every person and the humanity in all activities

Our core values are:
Reverence for God
Devotion to Country
Integrity
Justice
Toleration
Service

This web site is intended to provide timely information to our members and other interested parties, such as the calendar of events, current officers, ‘happenings’ in the valley, and other items of special interest.
