Saturday, June 28 — In a powerful gesture of unity and dedication to the deeper mysteries of Freemasonry, two members of Circumpunct Lodge No. 777 journeyed to Washington, D.C. to attend the 2025 D.C. Scottish Rite Reunion, held in solemn honor and memoriam of Ill. John Vergalla, 33°.

This year’s reunion was a profound expression of the D.C. Scottish Rite’s enduring commitment to esoteric philosophy, exemplifying the Rite’s role as a beacon of deeper Masonic inquiry and contemplative practice. In perfect alignment with these principles, Circumpunct Lodge, itself dedicated to the cultivation of esoteric excellence, was honored to witness a significant milestone within its own circle.

During the reunion, Circumpunct saw one of its own initiated within the ranks of the Adept, signifying a deeper step into the mystical and philosophical heart of our Craft. Additionally, we extend heartfelt congratulations to Brother Joe Jenkins, 32°, on receiving his black cap, a mark of both achievement and responsibility within the Scottish Rite tradition.

Moments like these reflect our shared mission to elevate the Craft through introspective study, ritual depth, and the living legacy of those who came before us. As Circumpunct continues to explore the arcane and symbolic dimensions of Masonry, we remain proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the D.C. Scottish Rite in the pursuit of esoteric light and Masonic excellence. Special thanks and shout-out to WB ∴ Robh Zuniga, 32° in spear-heading this esoteric path for our Circumpunct members.
