Welcome to Our Masonic Fraternity
Welcome to the Worshipful Lodge Caballeros de Memphis No. 50. We are a regular and sovereign lodge located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, dedicated to the moral and spiritual perfection of free men of good morals. Our Masonic life rests upon regularity, ritual discipline, serious study of the symbol, and the continuity of a lineage that honors both the tradition of Memphis and legitimate obedience under the Grand Lodge of the Dominican Republic.
The Rite of Memphis
We work the Ancient and Primitive Rite of Memphis in its symbolic dimension, preserving a tradition of Egyptian, hermetic, and initiatic character within a framework of full regularity.
Our Obedience
We render obedience to the Grand Lodge of the Dominican Republic, whose recognition by UGLE guarantees the symbolic regularity and international standing of our lodge.
Sovereign Sanctuary
The philosophical continuity of the rite is expressed through the Sovereign Sanctuary for the Dominican Republic, installed on March 29, 2025, within a lineage received through Pernambuco, Brazil.
Holy Royal Arch
We host Western Arch Chapter No. 3, installed on March 30, 2025, as the sacred culmination and essential complement of regular symbolic Masonry, likewise within a lineage transmitted through Pernambuco, Brazil.
