Capitular Masonry is the first step in the completion of the York Rite. In the United States, a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons confers the degrees of Mark Master, Virtual Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and The Most Sublime Degree of the Holy Royal Arch, which all symbolically take place during the actual construction of King Solomon’s Temple. Freemasons who hold membership in a Royal Arch Chapter are styled “Companions”. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in Mississippi governs local Chapters throughout the State, and is in turn subordinate to the General Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons International.
