About Jeremiah Council No. 48
Jeremiah Council No. 48, Royal & Select Masters, meets in Webster Groves, Missouri, and continues a longstanding tradition of Cryptic Masonry in the St. Louis area. As part of the York Rite, the Council confers the Cryptic Degrees, which expand upon the Royal Arch narrative and preserve the hidden treasures of Masonic tradition.
Meeting at the Webster Groves Masonic Temple, Jeremiah Council provides Master Masons and Royal Arch Masons an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Craft through the degrees of Royal Master, Select Master, and Super Excellent Master. These degrees complete the historical narrative of the Temple and emphasize fidelity, preservation, and devotion to duty.
