Companions,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the District Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the Far East web portal. This new endeavour has been made possible by the efforts of Companions who share with me the desire for a secure, safe and convenient "window to the world" and a means of connecting the membership throughout our extensive District.

The District Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the Far East, holden under the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Scotland, is one of the largest geographical Masonic Districts. Headquartered in Hong Kong, the District is responsible for Royal Arch Chapters, Cryptic Councils and Ark Mariner Lodges and Councils of Red Cross Knights working in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. Being so widespread makes the need for a centralised hub all the more important and it is envisaged that this new undertaking will bring the members of the District closer, enable easier sharing and enhance our established channels of communication as we work together towards our common goals.

This is an important and exciting step forward for the District and of course will take time to mature. Your support and cooperation to help achieve its full potential will be vital to attain the vision we have for this Online presence, but I am confident that it will bring huge rewards for our Chapter and its members.

This landing page is the new gateway to a host of services and functions we have planned which will be gradually introduced. As we grow and expand this platform, I urge your support, assistance and contribution to make it a worthwhile addition to the tools we have to make our Chapter journey rich and rewarding.

Sincerely and fraternally,

MEC David J Russell,
Grand Superintendent,
District Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the Far East
