Sacramento Commandery #2, Knights Templar, will then hold its monthly Stated Conclave in the same place at 10:00 a.m.. New this year is an 8:15 a.m. breakfast and discussion group before the meetings. All members are encouraged to attend. Since several of our members will be attending the services for Companion Dom that same morning, it is important that everyone who can attend our meetings to ensure we have a quorum to open. In Memoriam Dominique E. Vessigault Entered Eternal Life April 26, 2017 Almighty Father, into Thy hands we commend the soul of our departed companion. A memorial service to celebrate the life of Companion and Sir Knight Vessigault will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, May 13, 2017, at The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints at 6711 Seasons Drive, Elk Grove, CA.

2 Page 2 May 2017 Greetings Companions, April, the sound of birds singing, the scent of flowers in the spring air. Getting out in the garden and enjoying the weather is what I enjoy most in the spring. Easter was a success in my home with colorful eggs for an Easter egg hunt and a time to enjoy the family visit followed by a wonderful meal. Last month we had a successful Chapter setup prior to our scheduled meeting, followed by a light breakfast and discussion about the Royal Arch. I hope you all found it as informative as I did. As we continue to build on our tradition of sharing and coming together more frequently as a Chapter, we will fine it builds unity and comraderie. We also had Royal Arch practice last month. We had good participation, and I hope in the near future we will get better. Also, the Grand Lecturer held a Northern California School of Instruction on April 29th; those of you who attended received a lot of esoteric information. I especially enjoyed participating with other Chapters from throughout Northern California. Let us continue to make our Chapter a great place to be and grow. Sincerely, your humble High Priest, Luis J. Montero L.Montero22@yahoo.com The California Encompasser is the official publication of the Grand York Rite Bodies in California. It is issued quarterly. The April 2017 issue is now available on the web-site: In addition to educational articles on several diverse subjects, the issue includes information about upcoming events around the State. From the dias Greetings Sir Knights, Greetings for the month of May, 2017, to the Sir Knights of Sacramento Commandery # 2, Knights Templar. The May Stated Conclave will be held in Memory of Sir Knight Dominic Vessigault, who passed on April 27th, He was very loyal to the Craft and will be sorely missed. The Chapter and Council performed beautiful ritual work conferring degrees in both Woodland and Auburn. Now it is the task of our Commandery to continue the good work on June 3rd for the Commandery Orders. We desperately need help forming a team to present the Order of the Red Cross. Please contact Sir Knights Phil Hardiman, Joseph Dongo, Rich Wilson or me as soon as possible to fill positions. The Study Group/Breakfast sessions instituted in January, led be SK Luis Montero, have proven to be very successful. Join us at 8:15 am, prior to the Council and Commandery stated meetings in our quest for More light in Masonry. The Community Support and Constitutional Observance Committees are secure and in place, but there is still a need for volunteers to work with both the Blood Bank and Public Schools Committees. The proposed Summer Fund Raising effort has not been scheduled yet; suggestions on how to proceed are welcomed. Remember to attend the York Rite Grand Commandery Session in Bakersfield on Monday, May 22nd, if possible. We will continue to hold practices in July and August in order to develop a line of Officers for the year (Commander continues on page 3)

3 May 2017 Page 3 (Commander continued from page 2) We have received good reports on SK Harvey Holcomb s recovery, and SK John O'Conner s health is improving, but we have not heard for either SK Joseph Madrid or SK Brian Teabo. Special shout outs to SKs John Bolen, Bill Long, Michael Quinn, Dick Pullen and Adin Agiuano. We have five candidates for the June Orders for our Commandery and possibly 25 to 30 total from this area. Finally, thanks to all Sir Knights for your continued support of our great Commandery. All praises to The Blessed Emmanuel, The Prince of Peace, and Great Captain of our Salvation. Fraternally yours, Ron Charles, Commander rbosumptwi@gmail.com General Grand Chapter The next Triennium will be held in Portland, Oregon, August 23rd thru 30th this year. General Grand Chapter will meet on Tuesday, August 29th, with General Grand Council meeting on Monday the 28th. Plan to register before July 26th, 2017, to get the best rates. The sessions are open to all York Rite Companions. This may be the closest the Triennial will be to California in at least nine years, so give attendance this year your serious consideration. In addition to the meetings, there are numerous other activities planned and services available that you may want to avail yourself of.

The Tunzi Ranch is about ten miles inland (east) from the coastal village of Mendocino. Self-contained RVs and tent campers are welcome to set up any time during the week, and restroom and shower facilities are available. There are also a wide variety of motel accommodations in Mendocino and nearby Fort Bragg. Nancy Hardiman and Kitty Wilson are planning a ladies trip into Fort Bragg or Mendocino for shopping and lunch on Saturday while the degrees are being conferred. Plan now to attend this fun event and bring a friend to take the degrees; it s an experience he won t forget. form is on page 5. Registration New Members Needed The Sacramento York Rite Bodies experienced significant growth over several recent years. But, that growth slowed down this year. If we are to continue to be a vibrant and relevant organization we must have an ongoing stream of new members who are enthusiastic about our work and eager to obtain further light in Masonry. Please find the time now to contact that Master Mason whose petition you would like to sign, and invite him to join us. The spring 2017 SSYRA Chapter Festival is past, but the Royal Arch Degrees will next be offered June 24th at Comptche (see left). Deadline for petitions for that festival is our June 10th Chapter meeting. For more information about York Rite Masonry, visit the excellent website maintained by the Golden State Research Chapter: Membership in the Research Chapter is open to all Royal Arch Masons for a one-time application fee of $10. There are no annual dues. Contact Companion Joseph Dongo, PHP, at Joe@JosephDongo.com.
