On Membership Enquiries in the USA Region

The Masonic Order of Pilgrim Preceptors is an Invitational Masonic Order.  However, if you are qualified for membership by being a Past Master and Past First Principal (Past High Priest) and are interested in membership, then you may email opp.regsec.usa@gmail.com expressing your interest.

Your expression of interest is not a guarantee of future invitation to membership. However, you may receive an application so that we might have the full information that we require for consideration.

Submission of an application is not a guarantee of future invitation to membership. While we consider applications throughout the year, the USA Region meets on the work of Mayflower Conclave No. 8 only once annually at Masonic Week in February of each year.  If your application is accepted, you will receive an invitation from us before Masonic Week.  If another opportunity arises during the year for entry or participation in forming a new Conclave, we will contact you at our convenience.  If you do not receive a response, your application remains under consideration at our discretion.

If one or more Conclaves already exists in your Masonic Jurisdiction (either the Jurisdiction of your residence or the Jurisdiction of your Craft Lodge), then we will pass your application along to those Conclaves for their consideration.  Again, this is an invitational organization, and any Conclave that is given your application to consider is under no obligation to act upon it nor to invite you to membership. If you do not receive a response, your application remains under consideration at their discretion.

By qualification, you must be a Past Master of a Craft Lodge by, at least, one year’s service and a Past High Priest (Past First Principal or Past Z.) of a Royal Arch Chapter by, at least, one year’s service.  There are no exceptions.

Please understand that due to the volume of enquiries that we receive, multiple enquiries are not helpful and may impair consideration of your enquiry or application.

On Membership Enquiries from outside the United states or Canada

Applicants, candidates, joining members, and proposed founders proposed for Conclave membership in the USA Region that either reside outside the USA or Canada, or hold membership (or plural membership) in a Craft Lodge or Royal Arch Chapter outside of the USA or Canada may only be recommended and/or apply to membership in Mayflower Conclave; and, their applications must be approved by the Executive of the Order to proceed. This does not inhibit any existing member of the Order to visit any Conclave in the USA Region.
