CAVITE YORK RITE

Cavite Chapter No. 13, R.A.M. was gained the Warrant of Dispensation by the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of the Philippines on April 3, 1954... The system of Freemasonry known as the York Rite derives its name from a legendary assembly of Masons in York, England in the year 926, long before the formation of the Grand Lodge of England, and possibly the first general assembly of Masons ever held. While some of the bodies and some of the degrees came to us from England, the system, as we know it here, was developed in America and is largely confined to this country.
