Eminent Commanders:
There is another Christmas Observance we need to try to support. That is the York Rite
annual Christmas Observance.
This Observance is held on the third Sunday of December each year at the Maryland
Masonic Homes in Cockeysville. The Observance objective is for the York Rite to
sponsor a worship service for the residents. Many Blue Lodges are assigned a Sunday
throughout the year by the Chaplain of the Homes, The York Rite has always been
assigned the third Sunday of December.
The three York Rite bodies take turns hosting this service. If possible and If your
schedule allows, I would like to personally invite each Commandery to this service. This
would be a great way to show our residents, our support of them.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 410-
833-6881 or e-mail, chasnnez@comcast.net
Blessings:
Charles A. Beckhardt Jr. , KTCH, Grand Prelate
Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar of Maryland
