The Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is, above all else, an educational institution. We seek not to teach men the truth but, instead, a way to the truth. Each must find the truth for himself. The Degrees of the Scottish Rite do not teach specific lessons. Rather, they give parallel examples from earlier cultures, raise questions, and challenge us to think. Freemasonry is a journey of self-discovery and self-development. We seek only to be a guide, teaching the common ground of various philosophical and religious approaches to belief, in order that men might be more united in their standards of right and wrong and in their understanding of the reality of God.

There are 14 levels with six full floor and eight mezzanine levels. The Temple’s ground was broken in 1923 and dedicated in 1926. Created by well-known architectural company Eames & Young with consulting architect Albert Groves, it features classic Greek Ionic style exterior architecture with various styles throughout the interior.The Masonic Temple is built in three receding stages, which is symbolic of the three steps in Masonry. Constructed of Bedford limestone with gray granite trim, the main lobby is finished in marble with other rooms featuring its original wool carpet. One of the property’s many highlights is an unfinished theater with 2,200 seats.The lobby has a 38-foot mural titled “The Origins of Freemasonry”, which was created in 1941 by Jessie Housley Holliman and dedicated by Senator Harry S.

PayBack works in partnership with Metropolitan St. Louis Area Family Courts to help children, their families and our community, break the cycle of juvenile delinquency. Our goal is to fund and administer restorative justice programs for juvenile offenders and victims by raising restitution funds, locating job sites, and restoring the juvenile sense of self through personal accountability, community service and job skills. We celebrate serving the community for over 30 years and happily report that more than 70% of the juveniles, who participate in their program, never return to the Family Courts as re-offenders. In addition, more than half a million dollars has been returned to metro area crime victims by youth in the PayBack program. PayBack’s collaborative effort involves three components: The Family Courts, public/nonprofit agencies serving as work sites, and financial support from the community. OUR IMPACT “Restoring the health of the community, repairing the harm done, meeting victims’ needs, and emphasizing that the offender can — and must — contribute to those repairs, restores the juveniles sense of self through lessons in personal accountability, it restores the their sense of pride through work skills, community service and mentoring, it provides nonprofit and public agencies with a resource of volunteer manpower and it restores the victim’s sense of community and sense of security and control.” Juveniles, who come before the St. Louis Metropolitan Area Family Courts for crimes such as property damage, burglary, or assault are screened, counseled, ordered to participate in a victim impact session (when the courts deem it appropriate) and placed at local not-for-profits for their court ordered community service. For this mandatory work, juveniles earn minimum wage credit through PayBack (the dollar amount is determined and ordered by the courts), to be used exclusively for repayment to their victims. Those juveniles requiring more supervision are referred to work crews consisting of 4-5 children, under the supervision of a Work Crew Coordinator. Through feedback from children, parents, victims, work sites and court personnel, we know this program works! [email protected],
