The District is pleased to announce the launch of a new mentoring programme designed to support members who have recently been perfected into the Rose Croix. The scheme pairs each new member with an experienced companion who can guide them through the early stages of their journey in the Order.
Why Mentoring Matters
The transition from Craft Freemasonry to the Ancient and Accepted Rite can be a significant step. While the ceremony of perfection is a deeply moving experience, new members often have questions about the structure of the Order, the meaning of the ceremonies, and how they can become more involved in their Chapter.
The mentoring programme addresses these needs by providing a trusted point of contact — someone who has walked the same path and can offer guidance, encouragement, and fellowship.
How It Works
Each Chapter has been asked to nominate experienced members willing to serve as mentors. New members will be paired with a mentor from their own Chapter wherever possible, ensuring that the relationship is supported by regular personal contact at meetings and social events.
Mentors will receive a brief handbook outlining the programme’s aims and offering practical suggestions for supporting new members. The programme will be reviewed after its first year to assess its effectiveness and gather feedback from participants.
