Our Patent Charter, granted by the Grand Lodge of the Dominican Republic, expresses the juridical and institutional foundation of our existence and symbolizes a lasting commitment to the ancient landmarks, ritual discipline, and the continuity of Masonic lineage.
The Pronaos
The threshold of preparation. Here, the soul disposes itself to mystery and deep reflection.
The Naos
Our sacred space. Under the celestial vault, we gather to hew the rough ashlar and build temples to virtue.
